We are back?
Join us for our Life Drawing session, a space where the worlds of BDSM and art come together.
This event is about exploring the visual and emotional impact of rope, form, and connection, all through your own creative lens.
What to expect?
Shibari, the Japanese art of rope bondage, is more than technique it’s about connection, consent, and creative expression. These sessions offer a chance to observe and capture the unique relationship between rigger and model, and the powerful mix of vulnerability, strength, and beauty that emerges
During the session, David will guide the drawing process while Papi works with the ropes together with a gorgeous male model. You’ll have the chance to sketch a range of dynamic poses, from floor work to half and full suspensions. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, you’ll find inspiration in the interplay between body, rope, and atmosphere.
This is not a class, but a guided drawing experience. David will be on hand to offer feedback and suggestions as you work.
Bring your favorite drawing materials-pencils, colored pencils, or digital devices are all welcome.
We recommend comfortable clothing so you can focus on your art.
Your first drink is on us, so settle in and enjoy the creative energy. We aim to foster a relaxed, respectful environment where everyone can explore and express themselves
