Decorative Rope Foundations:

Class Description: 

Attendees will learn how to approach a decorative tie focusing on the principles of tension, symmetry, and aesthetics when tying a rope corset.

The intermediate-level class will involve a live demo and walk-through of a three-rope corset. Tiers of all experience levels are welcome. This tie will be best experienced with a partner, but self-tiers are welcome as well.

Pre-requisites/Additional Materials:

Basic rope handling experience is recommended. Knowledge of basic techniques will be helpful:

• Lark’s head

• Square knot

• Crossover hitch

• Three 30 ft ropes

If you don’t know the prerequisites, please consider attending classes like Rope 101 (offered every month at Bight Night) to learn the prerequisite skills and knowledge before attending this event. Class time is limited, so attendees who are not prepared to tie along may audit the class by watching and taking notes rather than participating hands on.

About the Presenters:
NonServiam is an artist, educator, and rope-enthusiast who specializes in decorative/ aesthetic rope tying. With a focus on symmetry and attention to detail, he has become a staple at AFK’s Bight Night series, and can often be seen showcasing his latest creations along with his partner B.

B lived kink-adjacent for a long time until she found the kink community with NonServiam in early 2024. Joining this community has felt like a homecoming for her. Learning alongside NonServiam, she has been developing her skills as an attentive, patient, communicative, cooperative rope bottom. She has deeply enjoyed exploring play and power exchange in the context of rope.

Play Party

Any play (within LNK venue guidelines) is welcome at this party! Party rules can be reviewed at louisvillenk.com/rules. At this party, the venue will be set up with rope in mind. Extra floor play space and hardpoints will be set up, though the usual furniture (crosses, benches, etc) will be available too. Have a question at the party or need some help making the space work for your scene? Talk to an event team member, identifiable by their bright yellow lanyards and safety shears! 

Our venue offers:

• play furniture (A frame style rigs, athletic mats, spanking benches, St. Andrews style crosses, etc)

• luggage racks to store personal items and equipment

• social area

• snack bar and Keurig machine (food and beverage can also be brought in)

• after-care/quiet area

• outdoor smoking area

• single occupancy bathroom

• Free and ample paved parking within a couple minutes walk of the space. Handicapped parking is available directly beside the space. Please check the parking map in the ticket confirmation for detailed parking instructions!

Is this your first time? Don't worry, we'll be gentle! An event team member will give you a welcome orientation tour to show you with the space layout and highlight some of the most important rules and etiquette!

Event Rules and Expectations:

• LNK Rules & Ban Lists: All LNK rules, ban lists, and expectations apply to our events in addition to any that we set. Please be sure to review these rules linked in the ticket confirmation. 
  

• Consent: Be sure to negotiate BEFORE touching someone and/or someone's belongings AND before having a rope experience with someone, even at classes. If you're not sure how to navigate consent and negotiations, please ask SnappedGinger or event staff (identifiable by the yellow lanyards).

• RACK Space: Interact at your own risk. If you have questions or concerns at the event, please talk to SnappedGinger or event staff.

• Photos: Photos are allowed as long as EVERYONE in the photo consents to being in the photo. This includes people in the background! Blurring them out later is NOT a solution. The photo should not be taken if any part of anyone's body appears in the frame without their consent.

• Consequences: Violating these rules may result in a time-out or permanent ban.
