Summary

• Upper body ties made easy Expanding creative shibari through 'ingredients' This tutorial demonstrates and further explains 'ingredients' familiar from our other classes, e.g. 'Tying techniques', through a variety of simple 'recipes'.

• This brings a greater understanding of the engineering and associated aesthetics which develops your creativity safely.

• Two M-shape arm ties Two Teppo (rifle bearer) ties Teppo with half gote (suspension capable) Single choker tie Double choker tie Floor based suspensions Simple high hands gote (takate kote) You will learn the two main construction techniques used throughout shibari though simple examples: those based on single/double column ties and those using reverse tension.

• In addition, you will see how different frictions or simple hitches can often be used interchangeably, in the same way culinary ingredients can be substituted, to create your own personalised 'recipes'.

• This allows you to move beyond simply copying patterns.
