Tying begins on the floor – where technique meets body awareness.
In Shibari, it’s not just about knots and patterns, but above all about safe guiding and shaping the body.
The TwF Studio is opening his doors on Sunday - for a comfy and relaxing RopeJam.
Sunday Jam. From 15:00 to 20:00
Come alone or as a Couple :-)
This evening is thoughtfully designed for practicing uplines and harnesses - with a clear focus on safe, grounded play.
While the techniques we will explore are inspired by the principles of suspension, everything will take place on the floor. This allows us to develop and refine key elements of rope handling, body mechanics, and communication without the added complexity and risks of full suspension.
Welcome to the heart of Basel! Our charming studio is just a 5-minute walk from Basel SBB train station and 30 minutes from the airport. With space for up to 8 bamboo or 10 single suspension rings, we offer regular bondage gatherings or workshops with internationally recognized artists and educators.
This event is dedicated to rope practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of Kinbaku through the lens of suspension — not just as a technical challenge, but as an evolving art form and method of communication between rigger and model.

Hashira or binding to a vertical post, is one of the most deeply rooted techniques in traditional Japanese Shibari. In Japan’s historical houses, beams and vertical posts were central elements of architecture, shaping not only the structure but the very essence of the space. This architecture inspired the unique rope practice of binding to a vertical post — the Hashira.
Hammer & anvil is a concept that refers to our theory on the interaction between uplines and the body and the forces applied by it. But I suppose you could also call it a dynamic transitions weekend intensive. This playful workshop will be a showcase for a number of techniques very dear to Dolph’s style of tying. Efficiency, how to manipulate the body and some added violence all through use of your uplines will be the theme. We'll also dive into recognizing your possibilities in suspension and how to impact sensations with minimal effort. This will be followed up by more methodically building your own transitions.

Michael Ropeknight ties with rope since his teens and has later on been able to experience different styles of Shibari on various journeys to Japan. He studied with several well-known japanese and western Bakushi before becoming an official student of Osada Steve in 2012. Osada Steve was also the one who introduced him early on to Yukimura Haruki Sensei as he felt their way of communication is quite similar.
Workshop will be held in English.
