Stockholm Kinbaku Studios
Long-running Stockholm rope organizer offering a full-day beginner course (safety, communication and an upper-body tie, practised in both roles), themed rope social evenings, workshops, shows and private lessons.
Stockholm Kinbaku Studios organizes shibari and kinbaku teaching and social events in Stockholm. Its about page names no founders and gives no founding year; it presents rope as a path and as a way of getting close to other people, and lists workshops, meetups, parties, shows and private lessons. The website is in Swedish, and questions, bookings and ticket requests go by email.
Beginner course
The core offer is a one-day Grundkurs (basic course) on safety, communication and an upper-body tie, with practice time in which participants swap between tying and being tied. People can come alone, with a friend or with a partner. The course has run several times a year since at least autumn 2024; the autumn 2026 dates were 20 September, 25 October and 27 December, the last at Fabriken. The listed price is 900 SEK per person, whichever role is taken.
Events and community
In autumn 2026 the group runs Kontraster, a series of themed rope evenings with Fabriken in Spånga, with nights in September, October, November (devoted to performances) and December. Earlier calendars list queer-separatist rope workshops, Queerknyt afternoons at RFSL Stockholm, try-rope sessions in the Kinkykvarteret during Stockholm Pride 2025, and semi-suspension courses held outside the city in Sundsvall and Småland. The founders also organize rope meetups with Peer Rope Stockholm, where participants learn from each other without a designated instructor; its most recent sessions were small editions in 2025.
According to the about page, all meetups and courses are open to anyone, many suit complete beginners unless an event says otherwise, and the teachers have experience in both roles. Venue addresses are shared only with people admitted to an event.
