Ztella & Ms Fuchs – Announcing presenters

Ztella loves rope bondage for the intense, touching, and erotic connection that it can create, and she’s also obsessed with shibari as a craft. Based in Berlin, she offers regular study groups and weekend intensives and also teaches internationally at festivals, retreats, and conferences.

Her teaching style emphasizes adaptability and safety, opening space for creativity and connection. She believes that participants learn best in well-structured classes in which the specific skill sets of both riggers and models, and their dynamic together, are foregrounded. In her classes, participants are encouraged to explore the mechanics and logic—the why and how—of rope.

You can find her at www.ztella.de, @Ztella on FetLife or @ztellaropes on Instagram.

MsFuchs, a former judo fighter, stepped into the world of Shibari in 2017 and since then has felt captivated by bringing the body to its limits and cocreating that delicate, subtle threshold together with another person, on either side of the rope.

Feeling both the biggest and smallest, most subtle reactions in another person—the way their body shifts and turns, the way they smell, the sounds they make—fills her with a deep sense of joy and contentment.

How something as simple as a few meters of jute can open up such a wide range of emotions, physical challenges and human connection continues to inspire her.
