Franck Stunn, also written Franckstunn, is a rope teacher and the founder of Corneum, a shibari dojo in Lennik in Flanders, Belgium. Corneum’s site presents him as an international shibari and semenawa teacher and as an artist working in rope, performance and photography.
Experience and training
The Corneum site gives his experience as more than nine years of shibari (one passage says more than eight) and more than six years of teaching, and says he has worked with many regular models. It names Naka, Yukimura, Ren Yagami, Soptík and Docvale among the teachers whose workshops he has followed, and elsewhere lists workshops in the Yukimura, Naka and Ren Yagami styles, Ropunawa, Kirigami, semenawa and with Nicolas Yoroi. The workshops page describes him as strong in technique and analysis and as a patient teacher who meets students at their own level.
Teaching at Corneum
He specializes in sensual, erotic, dominant and sadistic shibari, in semenawa and in tantra shibari. The program on Corneum’s Dutch-language site includes semenawa workshops on predicament and on “sticks and stones”, a two-day hashira workshop moving from traditional to dynamic figures, beginner and intermediate hashira days including a sensual-erotic variant, a tantra shibari course for beginners, an open-level workshop on aibunawa (“deep connection”), a photography masterclass, and regular rope jams in Lennik. Private beginner workshops and private sessions for all levels are also offered.
Approach
The site stresses safety, consent and communication, teaching in small groups with personal guidance. Private sessions start with an intake conversation about limits, medical history and expectations, and the exact address of the dojo is shared only after booking.
