Bex
Shibari & Kinbaku Artist | Educator | Performer
Rope as an embodied practice — grounded in presence, control, and connection.
Internationally available for workshops, performances, private sessions, and creative collaboration.
The Space - Shibari Lounge - is a purpose-built rope and photography studio in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, just 40 minutes from London Fenchurch Street and close to London Southend Airport. Rooted in a calm coastal setting, the Lounge supports kinbaku, shibari education, rope photography, and performance work in a considered, low-pressure environment.
Shibari workshops • Rope jams • Kinbaku & BDSM education • Kink-friendly photography & videography • Online learning • Private hire & 1:1 experiences
A private rope and photography space in Essex — created by Bex and used for select sessions, shoots, and small group work.
I offer workshops, performance, photography, and private sessions across studios, festivals, and private bookings — exploring rope through control, tension, power, and connection.

Shibari education
Workshops, intensives, and one-to-one learning in kinbaku — delivered internationally across studios, festivals, and private sessions.

Foundations for riggers and models • Intent-led rope practice • Performance-oriented kinbaku • Private, tailored sessions shaped around individual dynamics and collaboration
Performance & modelling - Rope artist work

Areas of focus include:
Live rope performance and durational work • Shibari life drawing and facilitated drawing sessions • Self-tied performance • Partnered rope rigging and modelling.
Photography & videography - Saku Snaps
Kink-aware photography and videography rooted in rope, performance, and embodied practice — working with individuals, collaborators, and events in a care-led, considered way.
Areas of focus include:
BDSM documentation and session photography • Editorial and portrait work • Performance and movement-based imagery • Shibari-informed videography
Beyond the physical space
Work continues beyond in-person sessions through online training, recorded material, and live sessions, with ongoing learning available via a subscription-based platform and live online teaching.
Alongside this, I teach internationally, working across studios, festivals, and private bookings rather than being tied to a single location.
For those who want to stay connected to the work, community spaces are available via Discord and Telegram.
