Equipment: 4 to 6 - 30' lengths of rope

Instructors:

Nova (they/them)

Nova has been tying in Denver since 2023. They switch in rope and all things kinky, and are passionate about education. They believe rope is for every body, and are dedicated to adapting rope to fit the needs of the scene and the people in it. Nova loves the tactile, connective element of tying and is thrilled to have a creative practice that facilitates platonic cuddling. They have a particular love for creatively themed ties and mixing rope with other sadistic play.

Nova identifies as a transmasc, polyamorous, kinky switch. Outside of rope they can be found climbing, birdwatching obsessively, and baking for praise.

T / Fet: twistyt (he/him)

T joined Studio Friction in late 2023. His favorite thing about rope is how it fosters connection and communication, and its calming effects on distractable neurodivergent minds. T comes from an educator background, and is passionate about generating safe, positive, and inclusive educational experiences for newcomers to the rope scene.

T identifies as queer and gender-nonconforming, and is a rope top. He especially loves to combine the art of rope with his cosplay and photography hobbies. Outside of kink, T is a dog dad and amateur taxidermist.
