About Us – Brighton Rope

About Us

We are a group of rope enthusiasts, based in Brighton & Hove, UK, who love to learn and tie together. We meet regularly, currently with a combination of classes and rope jams (peer tying socials). We also host one-off workshops from guest teachers, and, very occasionally, rope performances. We are LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent-led and centred, and aim to be as inclusive, accessible, and diverse as we can be. We are passionate about consent, emotional and physical safety, and we believe that anyone (18+) can tie and be tied. As long as you follow our principles of mutual respect and consideration, you are welcome.

Obsidian (He/Him)

Rigger / Bottom

Obsidian is a Bi Switch, who believes that variety is the spice of life and loves all aspects of rope. Not only does he enjoy experiencing new things, but he also loves helping others explore the joys of rope in a safe consensual way.

Quartz (They/Them)

Switch

Quartz is a queer, neurodivergent, disabled fat white rope switch, performance artist and teacher. For more about them and to book private classes/sessions email: quartzlacon@gmail.com or see their website

Amethyst (She/Her)

Bottom

Amethyst is a Trans Lesbian and bottoming skills teacher. She’s been an avid bottom for the last 4 years and has learned a myriad of lessons that she’s keen to pass on to you! Rope is a two-way street and Amethyst wants to make you aware of the power you have while being tied and while being as safe as you choose to be.

If you’re interested in getting involved in the running of Brighton Rope please email us – we’re always looking for more volunteers to keep things running. We especially welcome team members who are BaME, disabled and/or LGBT+, as well as bottoms who teach.
