Rope bondage practitioner and teacher, partnered touch, movement and consent educator.

Quartz has been practicing rope bondage since 2016, initially as a tied and then also as a tying person. 

They have been a teacher at Brighton Rope (previously South Coast Shibari Group) since 2017, and have guest taught at different rope groups around the UK, at UKRex, and privately in many settings (including a hen do). Quartz has also collaborated on artistic projects, including a music video, and performed at New Love Brighton and London Tattoo Convention. 

They have benefitted from tuition with Addie Tahl, Georg Barkas, DJfet,  JW, Laced Lines, Phoenix Flight, Pauline Massimo and Tamandua (amongst others). Although they've learnt more from the people they've tied with than from any teachers. 

Quartz has also tied with a large number of diverse people over the years, and specialises in making rope accessible for disabled, fat and/or trans people. They passionately believe that every body can be tied.

Quartz's style blends Japanese-informed rope bondage with trauma-informed touch, biomechanics and grounding techniques. For some background information about rope bondage, see FAQs.

Quartz seeks to create a trauma-informed, inclusive environment, where you can feel safe to explore and embrace vulnerability. They use their living experience of neurodivergence, transness and disability to guide you towards identifying, communicating and honouring your own and others' boundaries.
