Wisimi Studio

Wisimi Studio describes itself on Facebook as the first shibari studio in Warsaw, founded out of love for ropes, mindfulness and spending time together. It launched in early 2024 and has no standalone website; its program is published through Facebook events and a Linktree page.

Program

The weekly rhythm centers on two evenings. On Thursdays, Play with Ropes is an open rope jam. On Wednesdays, Arkadiusz Hezler leads Liny Sensualne (“sensual ropes”), a shibari practice evening billed under the theme of breath, body and workshops; in October 2026 it held open days on the 7th and the 14th, the second of which was fully booked. Weekend workshops with visiting teachers complete the calendar.

House rules and rope

Wisimi’s published rules, which give the studio’s address as ul. Wolność 2a, Warsaw, set out how its workshop room works. Entry is for adults over 18 and requires a fee; alcohol and other intoxicating substances are banned during meetings; shoes and outerwear stay outside; and exposing intimate body parts is not allowed. Studio equipment, including the suspension rigging, may be used only with the approval and under the supervision of the room supervisor, who can check on anyone being tied and stop a scene that endangers health or safety. All practice must be consensual, and photos need the consent of everyone in them. The studio also makes and sells its own rope: hand-twisted bamboo-yarn rope of about 6 millimeters made from 39 threads, 8 to 8.5 meters long, finished with beeswax and offered in many colors, with custom colors, lengths and thicknesses on request.
