Austin was already weird – we made it knottier.

The Quick and Dirty
We’re headed home to the city of the very first ROPECRAFT for more knotty fun! We’ll tie and be tied in Austin every fall starting this fall! We’ll have three full nights of parties starting Friday, October 26th, with two days of classes including an extra-long deep dive session to start out each day along with a Ropenspace and more. The company is knotty, the city is weird, the pool is still open and the breakfast is free. That’s hospitality. Stay tuned for Thursday night social plans and the opening of ticketing for our pre-con intensives on Friday!
Early Price Ticket Sales end in August, so don’t wait!

Who Should Come?
Everyone. Seriously.
ROPECRAFT is a convention where rope enthusiasts of all levels of experience and skill share their passion for rope bondage by learning, enjoying and creating together. Our motto is “Knot – for EVERYONE”. Bondage professionals, knotty dilettantes, fiber fetishists and artisanal rope makers will all be sharing the space!
We aim to please, and believe we run a quality show for all to enjoy. We’re not asking you to take our word for it, though.

Revolutionary Education
You want innovative, inclusive, and high-quality rope bondage education? ROPECRAFT is the place! It’s a lot more than just how to tie – we have bottom-focused and even switch-focused classes along with topics that just help your play go better, such as negotiation, role-plays, and good old fashioned SEX.
Are you a beginner? Get the fundamentals of rope, as well as the space to enjoy it.
Expert-level? Challenge yourself with cutting-edge techniques or book a private lesson with one of our instructors. You can also decide to come a little early and buy a ticket to the exclusive rope intensive with Lew Rubens OR deck out your dungeon in style at our very first furniture-building intensive!
ROPECRAFT-Austin is an opportunity to learn and create from world-class talents. There will be classes for top, bottom, switch, or whatever role fits your kink.
Three nights of parties, two days of great instructors, passionate kinksters, A Ropenspace, special events and more, all in a private and spacious conference center just for our group.
Custom-Designed Playspaces!
There will THREE NIGHTS of SEX-POSITIVE play space with the full spectrum of ROPECRAFT pagodas and frames, plus specially-designed items like the “StableCube” and more. Along with the main play space we also will bring back “Special Interest Spaces” such as Queer, Leather, Geeky, and more. You let us know what kind of space you want to play in and we’ll do our best to make it happen – which is also why there’s a Ropenspace on Sunday afternoon!
We’ll be having another performance showcase during our Friday Night Meet & Greet (catered, as usual!). The Flow Erotic Cabaret will return on Saturday night, along with the Cigars, Boots, & Chocolate event to wrap up our Sunday. The playspace will have plenty of room for floorwork, self-suspension, or even non-rope play if that’s what you’re looking for, completely sex-positive and ready for you to get your kink on.
See you there!
