Anatomy of a Futomomo

Details

WHAT IS FUTOMOMO?

Futomomo in direct translation from Japanese means "thigh".

In shibari Futomomo means a tie where bent leg is tied tightly, either for floor work or for suspension.

During this workshops I will share with you my knowledge about Futomomos, including:

1) Anatomy of the tie - reasons behind specific constructions

2) Different patterns of futomomo such:

  • diamond futumomo
  • spiral futumomo
  • suspension futumomo
  • improvised - construct your own design

3) How to use futomomo in connection with other floor ties (not for suspension)

4) If time allowes - mid air tied futumomo - partial or full suspension depending on the level of the participants.

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOPS FOR?

This workshopsis dedicated for beginners (with at least minimal knowledge of shibari - single column tie is essential), intermediate and advanced riggers - those who tie themselves, or tie with others, and who previously attended my shibari class or had experience with shibari elsewhere.

WHAT IS IT NOT?

This is also NOT a pick up opportunity.

Respectful, supportive and friendly behaviour is essential. Therer’s no space to abuse or discrimination on this workshops.

FAQ:

  • What should I wear?

This is not a kinky event, not fetish wear is allowed at this time. Please wear comfortable clothes that enable you to move freely and won't get cought by rope. I would suggest something close to your skin such as leggings for bottom part of your body, or shorts so you can tie directly on your skin, and maybe tighter tops/tshirt for upper body

  • Do I need to have my own ropes for this workshops?

I will provide limited amount of practice rope on the day of the jam, it will have to be returned once you complete the course. If you want to buy ropes from me, please let me know as I have a discount for people who attend my classes.

  • Can I attend this workshops by myself, or do I have to sign up with a partner?

You are more than welcome to join this workshops by yourself, you are also welcome to sign up with your partner or a friend - Futomomo is a tie that can be practice solo self-tying, or tie with a partner/friend.

  • Does this workshops include nudity/sensual play?

Even though Shibari/Kinbaku has an emotional aspects, and can be a very powerful tool to connect with your partner, this time it won't be possible to use the space for "play time" or erotic/nudity content.

SOME BASIC RULES:

  • Don’t take pictures of other without explicit consent. If you take a photo of yourself or your partner, please make sure to ask those around you if they mind being in the photograph, and if they are not, please make sure to do not capture other in the picture.

  • Under no circumstances can you participate in the rope jam if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any illegal substances that may put you or others at risk. If I have any reasons to believe that you are under the influence of any of the substances listed above I will have to ask you to leave the studio space withtout a refund and with the possibility of being banned from joining events that I facilitate again in the future.

  • If you think you may be pregnant, please come and speak to me directly before the class.
