Starting Pretty: Online Rope Tutorial

Everyone loves the beautiful aesthetics of rope, be it for photos or for private, and this class is the perfect place to start learning. We begin with a simple chest harness, which helps to teach some basic knots and frictions, followed by a mermaid tie, which becomes a lesson in tension. Both these ties can be done by anyone and are easy to add personal variations to. These ties don’t require any prior rope experience. No mandatory single column needed to make these beautiful creations and both ties are suitable for any gender bottoms or even as a self-tie. Suitable for all levels. The harnesses taught in this class are not intended for suspension.

Miss_Acacia has been actively pursuing the intricacies and beauty of rope as an art form since 2014. With an appreciation for the beauty of symmetry and the details of bondage, her path to rope suspension was a natural progression. When possible, she approaches each new tie through self-suspension first, “If I am willing to put another person in a suspension, I should know, generally, what it feels like for myself.” She believes in focusing on the fundamentals in order to understand not just the “how,” but the “why” behind the structure of each tie. For her, “Rope should not be about memorization of a preexisting tie, but about knowing why it’s a stable tie, what makes it safe, and why people use it in certain circumstances.” Currently, she is working on the sequences of transitions and contortions. She is known for her functional, yet intricate, pretty rope. As an avid learner, she is always open to brainstorming with fellow rope enthusiasts. Her ongoing development centers around the de-construction and re-construction of the innovative concepts demonstrated by our community, the integration of the artistry of rope with other passions, and the exploration of new ideas with a disciplined and methodical approach. She challenges herself by working on projects, setting goals, and attempting to recreate things she sees in the rope craft world that appeal to her.
