2025 Boundless RETREAT: CLASSES WITH METAL_OUCH_MAKER & UNIQUE_ELLE
Metal_OUch_Maker & Unique_Elle
Metal_Ouch_Maker (he/him) has been experimenting with kinky things since he was a young man and joined the FetLife community in 2012. He has a broad wheelhouse of skills and teaching experience including metal fabrication, leatherwork, welding, 3D modeling, CNC machining, professional scuba diving instructor, in addition to being a 3D and 2D artist. He brings all of these together to teach fun, exciting, and informed Kink-positive classes.
He also designs, hand-crafts, and sells several different toys, is a dealer for bondage rope, and is establishing a kink/ life coaching following. Together Metal_Ouch_Maker and Unique_Elle participate in community events, promote healthy and kinky lifestyles, host parties, and teach classes.
Unique_Elle (she/her) was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN and has been sex positive and experimenting for most of her adult life. She joined the FetLife community in 2020 and shortly after discovered that one of her main kinks was rope. With over 25 years of experience as an RN, she offers a unique perspective and a wealth of information that can be applied to the kink world. She has instructed many new nurse hires at the hospitals she has worked at and loves to impart her wisdom and knowledge on them.
In 2023 these two forces combined and have since taken over 100 classes together and began exploring their kinky depths together. In January 2024 Unique_Elle, Metal_Ouch_Maker and his other partner Miss_Minxx, set up a small, rope-centric and kink-friendly space in Sacramento, CA where they all teach monthly classes and host play parties.
CLASSES WITH METAL_OUCH_MAKER & Unique_Elle at The 2025 Boundless Retreat
Let’s get “Knotty”
This is a presentation where attendees will be introduced to many different knots and their uses. We will go over some safety considerations. Some of the knots we will learn are commonly used in Shibari style bondage and tying and some are not as common. The intent of this class is to introduce methods and connections that can be used to secure, adjust, or quickly remove objects during a rope scene.
Attendees can use the skills that they learn to set up predicaments and challenge the bottom. The adjustability and ability to quickly remove some of the knots and connections can potentially make the scene a bit safer.
Note: This is an all levels class. You only need 1 piece of rope for this class. The instructors will have some loaner rope if you need it.
Predicaments
Many of the knots from the “Let’s Get Knotty” presentation will be shown in actual use during this class. Safety and examples of predicaments will be discussed and shown. The information that you learn can enhance your tying prowess and can be used for creative predicaments of your own.
Fair warning: There will be nudity and Elle will likely yell and cuss a bit, and she will be cussed at and taunted. Feel free to leave at any time or do not attend if you do not consent to this.
This is conducted as a presentation only it is not a hands on or participatory class. Time permitting, we may be able to answer questions and help people “Lab” a simple predicament.
We will be using a weight, a piece of bamboo, and a few other items for this predicament. We will have many ideas for you as well.
All skill levels are welcome.
BEGINNER ROPE – YOUR FIRST HARNESS
Are you new to rope, or consider yourself a beginner? Then this class is for you. We will be covering basic safety and anatomy considerations that everyone who is involved in rope bondage should be aware of. We will also teach a few beginner level knots and frictions, that you will be able to immediate put to use as we learn to tie the Swiss Seat harness, with the addition of a gunslinger leg tie (pending timing of the class).
You will need: 3-4 hanks of 30’ rope and a shorter piece if you have it. The instructors have a limited supply of loaner rope in case you don’t have your own!
Note: This class is a beginner class intended for all levels. You do not need any experience
