About the instructors
KnottyButt (she/her)
Knottybutt is a queer, femme, neruodiverse, masochistic rope bottom from the midlands. Enjoys connective, constrictive and traditional rope as well as having a passion for rope education. Teaching consent and scene negotiation is of particular interest as well as empowering bottoms to have the confidence to communicate. KB has been involved in the rope community for around 7 years and looks forward to welcoming both new and old faces!
Novellus (she/her)
Novellus is a sadistic rigger and submissive rope bunny based in Birmingham. Her rope journey started as a bottom and most of her influence in tying comes from how she is tied. Her focus in rope is traditional Japanese rope bondage known as shibari or kinbaku as well as some dance-like or dynamic tying. Her teaching focuses on using fundamentals and intent to create flowing, creative and connective rope scenes.
