More about KNOTY
KNOTY is a queer-owned rope space in Porto, Portugal, with more than 5 years of existence. Our space called The KNOTY (W)Hole is not only shibari/rope centered but we promote BDSM education and play parties, too. Since day one, we're queer and self-tie friendly and offer sliding-scale payment options whenever possible...
We offer - both Portuguese and English - classes, intensives workshops, virtual classes, rope jams, private lessons and playful nights, either from curious rope-mind people as to seasoned individuals.
KNOTY aims to create space for conversations about rope, BDSM and artistic areas, making possible the communication and information sharing among participants. We encourage people to learn to tie slowly and what makes sense to oneself.
