Welcome

Rope Study provides in-person instruction and online support materials to promote risk-aware rope bondage education for practitioners on both sides of the rope. We hold classes and workshops in the Central Virginia (USA) region.

The primary goals for our Foundations series of courses are: to provide a solid foundation of understanding and skills for students on both sides of the rope to competently practice rope in a responsible, risk-aware manner; and to bridge the gap between the entry-level rope skills often learned through peer sharing and online resources and the intermediate to advanced skills often expected of those who want to attend rope conferences, workshops, and intensives.

Our hope is that students who complete our Foundation series of courses will be competent, risk-informed, and responsible members of their local rope community who are able to contribute to local learning opportunities and are also adequately prepared to take advantage of other educational offerings in order to continue their study of rope.

We’re based in Richmond, VA (USA) and provide in-person courses in the fall and spring as well as workshops and private instruction throughout the year. To see our upcoming in-person offerings, please visit the Events page.
