More about Silly Hands Shibari Studio
Silly Hands Shibari Studio, founded in 2023 by Amiya, is India’s first queer-owned and operated Shibari studio in Mumbai.
We host beginner-friendly workshops, private sessions and rope jams with venue partners across various cities in India.
Our goal is to make shibari-educational space and encourage practice led by collaboration, connecting and a little bit of silliness :)
