Seattle rope bottom, kink educator and organizer who teaches movement-based and improvisational rope with the rigger Provocations, co-founded Ropes in Motion and runs the PNW Rope Group Discord server.
Valley_Roses, who goes by Val, is a Seattle-based kink educator, community organizer, event runner and rope bottom. Val’s profile on the Rope In Seattle directory gives “any/all” as pronouns, and an event listing uses they/them. According to that profile, Val began their journey in 2017 as a switch and has since found that rope bottoming is their deepest love.
Teaching
As an instructor Val specializes in dance- and movement-based rope, improvisational play and keeping the relationship dynamic alive during a scene, and the profile says they want to teach rope in a way that is exciting, inclusive and accessible. Val teaches locally with the rigger Provocations. Their joint classes listed in the Rope in Seattle newsletter for June 2025 included “Mean Rope for Everybody”, a hands-on class on getting a strong reaction from a little rope without suspension or uplines, and a tie-along class on partial-suspension predicament ties and how to adjust them for safety. In February 2026 the two taught “Mean Ground Rope” at Gallery Erato in Seattle, presented by the Pan Eros Foundation. The listing for that class also says Val teaches beginning rope classes with Full Circle Kink.
Val offers private lessons on beginner rope topping, “soft skills” for tops, communication during a scene for both the person tying and the person tied, and rope bottoming from beginner to advanced level.
Community
Val co-founded Ropes in Motion and owns the PNW Rope Group, a Discord server for the Pacific Northwest rope community; the profile invites people to ask for an invite link. Rope In Seattle notes that Val has attested to adhering to KEMS (Kink Educator Minimal Standards), a voluntary code of conduct for kink instructors.
