The Power of Lacing

What does this workshop cover?

Lacing the lower body, and sometimes the full body, is pretty much a staple in Naka style. But few know that there are many different ways to do so. From minimalistic symmetrical lacings to super intricate and over roped full body lacings, this type of shibari can offer incredible and very variated experiences for the models. Each different way of performing the style has it's own peculiar feeling and uses as well as its own aesthetic.
In this workshop we will discuss, learn and practice very different ways of tying this shibari and what suspension each can be used for. We will focus on achieving a good clean aesthetic even in the most overtied ones. Last but not least we will focus on safety aspects of each.

Who can come to this class? Are there pre-requisites?

Riggers must be comfortable with suspension and master a gote in any style. Bottoms must be aquainted with suspension and know how to detect nerve impingement
.
What should I bring and what do I wear?

We have a communal kitchenette, fridge and microwave, so feel free to bring lunch/snacks. Tea and coffee are free. People usually wear comfortable clothing like yoga or dance attire. We advise against loose fitting clothing and also jeans can sometimes feel a bit restrictive to move around in and difficult to tie on. We have communal ropes if you don't have your own.

Bring a set of at least 12 ropes, 5-6mm, 7-8mt long is recommended. If you are tying a tiny bottom having a set of thin rope (4-4,5mm), as well as ordinary rope, is strongly suggested though not mandatory

Who teaches this class?

This workshop is taught by guest presenters Riccardo Wildties and Red Sabbath.

Riccardo Wildties is an Italian rigger and rope artist. He was first introduced to BDSM 10 years ago and shortly after discovered Japanese rope bondage. For the first few years of his study, Wildties was primarily self-taught and pulled inspiration from many top Japanese and Western riggers, without focusing on one specific style. With his partner Red Sabbath he immersed himself in the art and became one of the most sought out European rope educators and performers.

At the end of 2012, seduced and inspired by the work of Akira Naka, he started to explore a new style based on the use of ropes as a mean of aesthetic erotic torture. He devoted himself totally to Semenawa, focusing his bondage on a very traditional Japanese style.

In 2013 he finally met Akira Naka in Moscow. They felt an immediate connection both on a professional and personal level, and he decided to focus his work entirely on the style of the master.

In August 2014 he had the honor to be invited to perform as main event at Naka Nawakai, Naka Akira's private session series. It was the first time that someone else than Naka San himself was main event at Naka Nawakai.

In 2015 he officially became Naka Akira's Deshi and had the privilege to tie in a duo session with his Sensei in Tokyo. Naka Akira has acknowledged that though Wildties is his student, that his unique form of bondage is a particular “latin” interpretation which proves to be much more suitable for Western students and models.

Wildties regularly performs all of Europe and holds workshops and classes.
