Welcome to Rope Bottom's Roundtable: A space for rope bottoms to share in their experience, education, and knowledge to support each other on their rope journeys. This is an open discussion space for rope bottoms to talk best practices for vetting, informed consent, negotiation, aftercare, safety, risk awarenes, body mechanics, and anything that they would like support with.

This month's suggested topic: Co-existance of romantic/sexual relationships with a kink dynamic.

Learn the foundations of book making with a codex structure that includes a hand-stitched binding.

Codex book binding is an easy way to make a very polished hard cover book to use as a journal, sketch book and a way to build a custom scrapbook for an event or special moment. Create your very own personalized and unique look as you develop the skills needed to build basic book structures.

All materials will be provided including quality decorative paper to feature on your title cover. You are welcome to bring a specific image/paper for your cover. The paper provided for the pages will be of mixed media which is compatible with most art supplies.

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair") is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. This philosophy embraces the flawed and imperfect; that breaking is part of the history and value of an object and an opportunity to create something beautiful instead of discarding.

In this workshop you can bring your own items for repair or we will have items available for a higher price point. All supplies needed for the mending and repair will be provided.

Hosted at The Rope Collective studio in Barrio Logan. You can find our studio access information under the "Contact" page on our website and the link will be sent in email confirmation under "Additional Information" section.
