Shibaku

Shibaku has represented my work with rope and the products that have grown out of this work since 2012. These include my books and illustrations as well as hand-twisted Shibari ropes, forged rings and selected accessories. What matters to me is thoughtful functionality, high-quality materials and careful craftsmanship. Much of it is made in Switzerland or by selected manufacturers in Europe.

My books present ties and techniques as I understand and teach them. The illustrations show the rope path step by step, making even more complex ties easy to follow. In workshops and private lessons, the aim is not simply to copy a tie, but to understand it and develop your own approach from there.

At BoundCon, you will find me with Shibaku at my booth. Depending on what people are interested in, I tie, demonstrate and explain techniques, or answer questions directly with rope in hand. At the same time, ties can be studied in the books and products can be examined or tried out. To me, all of this belongs together. Shibaku is about tying, explaining, teaching and always discovering something new.
