Most TUGs happened on Saturdays or Sundays. It worked that way because there was no school to harass beyond their homework. Except for the teenagers with papers, most of them were able to finish it on Friday. Inevitably, thoughts would somewhere turn to TUGs. In fact, only a couple planned on TUGs at the beginning of this adventure. In the bathroom, the so-called "Molly Maids" were getting ready for cleaning. Kate was donning a yellow bandana headband to go with her navy blue skirt and yellow blouse. Rachel was finishing her outfit for the day, a red bandana headband, a brown skirt with floral prints, and a red blouse. Tertiary was Anna, wearing blue jeans, a blue t-shirt, and a blue kerchief bandana. Lastly, Sarah was putting on a white kerchief bandana with her brown t-shirt and tan shorts.

Now!" Anna made her sit on the bottom bunk of the and tied her elbows so that they were on the other side of the post. The studio was born in June 2015 as a hub for learning and practicing Japanese insopired Rope Bondage. Fred Hatt and Anna Bones’s aim was to create a relaxed place where people could connect, meet like-minded folk and and practice rope. Born essentially out of their home, the current space maintains a living room sort of cosy feel despite the impressive custom metallic frame that hangs above it.The origins of Japanese Rope Bondage are messy and complex. From Edo period samurai warriors, to pleasure quarters during the Tokugawa feudal government where kabuki theatres and art under censorship and rule thrived… From World Wars and western influence, through economic booms and crashes during the 20th century, and the rise of fetish and porn magazines in the 1950’s… The history of shibari is a colourful tapestry of imagined, re-imagined, fantasised and fetishised scenarios of power exchange, incarceration and ravishment. James soon joined his twin sisters on the floor. In return for being cooperative, James was allowed to keep his sight and his speech. Now, you can calm down, and we can have a reasonable conversation. Or you can stay this way and worse for a while. Be good?"

I let her do all the dirty work for me. I took Paul before he could figure out what was happening, and she did the rest!" Fred and Anna met in London in 2013 and have been tying partners and lovers ever since, they travel internationally to teach and as ex-academics are passionate about teaching and fostering safe and sane rope bondage practices.Upstairs, the boys were almost set for their day of adventures. James and Paul were slow at getting dressed, but they finally emerged in typical jean shorts and matching school t-shirts. John wore blue jeans and a red polo shirt. Lastly, Eric had on tan shorts and a brown t-shirt. The studio relies on the help of wonderful group of team members and volunteers who make up the heart and soul of the space. Our staff are informally referred to as ‘House Cats’ are are currently a group of over 20 people split over three teams: a Shibari Store Team (involved in running and maintaining the rope store), a Volunteers Team and a Core Team (involved in helping with decision making, policy and other studio logistics).
