A Note for our Knotty Friends Interested in In-Person Conventions

Due to COVID-19, our in-person events were postponed as long as they needed to be to take care of our attendees and support ethical public health practices. In the interim period, we moved our social and educational opportunities online to help make the world a hotter and knottier place all over the globe. We plan to continue those events while also starting up our annual in person event in Chicago starting in 2022.

We cordially invite you to join us for Ropecraft Rebound in person this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend!

What We Do

We designed Ropecraft to be a convention where rope enthusiasts of all levels of experience and skill can share their passion for learning, enjoying and creating rope bondage together. Our classes cover a comprehensive spectrum of kink theory and practice for wide variety of experiences and skill levels and teach and promote kink-positive, inclusive views of sexuality. Our event features classes, socials, meetups, vendors, art and stage shows, and nightly sex-positive parties in our fully equipped dungeon space.

Rope Online Everywhere

Ropecraft Homebound is our effort to help bring folks together in the lonely times created by the Covid-19 pandemic. Our goal is to create accessible space for education and community. We create ties that bind all over the world and are working to schedule our next event.

What is ROPECRAFT?

It’s a new approach for a kinky bondage conference.

Featuring classes and play time centering around:
Shibari, Western Bondage, Power Exchange,
Solo Tying, Health, & PLAY.

“It’s KNOT – for EVERYONE.”

REVOLUTIONARY

ROPECRAFT was born out of a simple idea: Let’s make a rope convention we’d really want to go to. That’s why we have integrated diversity and consent culture throughout. At our in-person events, this includes things like:

The Ropenspace: All ROPECRAFT events feature a Ropenspace! This is a facilitated self-organizing peer education event, run on Open Space Technology, with all the ROPECRAFT instructors in attendance.
Our Peer Support Team: Think of them as Consent Incident First-Responders, with a side of being that negotiation wingman you’ve always wanted and a supportive friend if you’re having a rough time.
Special Interest Groups: Want to have a supportive space for your group to meet and discuss? We will do our best to make time and space for that to happen. Just let us know!

PLAY

At our in-person conventions, we have as many nights of SEX-POSITIVE play space as we can. That means THREE NIGHTS in Austin and FOUR NIGHTS in Chicago! Most of our beautiful rigs and lighting have been custom-made, with rock-solid suspension frames, tripods, crosses, benches, and more. We’ll also have some more traditional equipment for you Old-Guard rope types. The play spaces will have plenty of room for floorwork, self-suspension, or even non-rope play if that’s what you’re looking for. Want to brush up on your skills before the party? Practice space is available. We always have the popular Ropenspace event on the last afternoon of the con as well as other special events including art shows, performances, mixers and more!

EDUCATION

Our rope education track is not just a re-hash of what you’ve seen before. Beginners are welcome to learn the fundamentals of enjoyable rope bondage, and experts are welcome to challenge themselves with cutting-edge content and the opportunity to learn and create from other world-class talent.

We look for innovative classes from new presenters and new classes from innovative presenters.

ROPECRAFT supports the fight against human trafficking in any form. This means we support the decriminalization of sex work. Read about how you can help make the world safer by supporting this legislation at the Sex Worker’s Outreach Project.
