Step into enchantment at London Kinbaku Studio as we celebrate the first of many 420-friendly, 19+ immersive Shibari life drawing events. This unique experience blends the mesmerizing art of rope bondage with the intimacy of figure drawing, offering a relaxed yet exhilarating atmosphere where creativity flows as freely as smoke in the air.
Guided by skilled rope artists and a dynamic visual artist/tattooist, our models will be elegantly bound in visually striking Shibari poses, creating dynamic compositions that challenge and inspire artists of all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned illustrator or picking up a pencil for the first time, this event provides a welcoming space to refine your skills and embrace the beauty of the human form in bondage.
Enjoy the freedom to indulge in cannabis and sketch, allowing your senses to heighten as you capture the interplay of tension, texture, and anatomy. With moody lighting, captivating atmosphere, and a vibe that encourages deep artistic focus, this is more than just a drawing session—it’s a celebration of connection, creativity, and self-expression.
