ROPECRAFT CHICAGO 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. This includes things like:
The Ropenspace: On Monday we bring everyone – attendees and instructors – together to share their passions and ideas in an open-space format. It makes the event into a truly personal and unique educational opportunity for everyone.
Special Interest Groups: Want to have a safe space for your group to meet and discuss the things that are important to you? We will do our best to make time and space for that to happen. Just let us know!
The Consent.Rocks Crew: Think of them as First-Responders for anything involving consent, whether that’s an incident, discomfort, or just wanting to talk consent stuff, with a side of being that negotiation wingman you’ve always wanted.
We created ROPECRAFT to be a convention where the beginner and the artist can share space that isn’t focused on a particular flavor of rope bondage, or a specific role, or a specific product. At ROPECRAFT there will be a wide spectrum of techniques, intentions, and skill levels. You’ll find internationally renowned performers and bedroom players and Western fusion and Kinbaku. There will be people who have raised their craft to the level of art tying right along with those who don’t give a damn how you tie them as long as you tie them tight and tie them now.
This is also the con to attend if you really don’t understand what the big deal is about rope is, or think it “takes too long,” or is too complicated. It is the con for people wanting to improve basic skills and people working on the really fancy stuff. It’s the place where you can meet and learn from some of the best rope enthusiasts in the world.
