CANING WORKSHOP
AT PADDLES: "THE BEST" INDEED
by 007
Fans of traditional caning got more than "six of the best" last
Saturday night as Hilton from Purple Passion presented a workshop
on caning at Paddles with assistance from Catelynn. In terms of
preparation, thoroughness, and overall presentation, Hilton gave
an unparalleled performance, reading from over 100 notecards on
the history, maintenance, and techniques of caning. Beginning with
the history of caning from Asia and Europe, Hilton also shared from
his own personal experiences growing up in Africa and attending
British school where caning was the norm. Hilton provided a wide
array of examples of canes (thin, medium, and thick examples of
rattan, bamboo, and synthetic) and went into thorough detail on
the effects each type of cane has, in addition to their maintenance
(canes will either break in the center from being too dry or at
the tip from excessive force). After this highly informative introduction,
Catelynn graciously stepped forward as a volunteer as Hilton demonstrated
various styles of caning on her backside, taking care to point out
several problem areas where caution is warranted. It was an amazing
display which had the small but fascinated audience completely enthralled.
Catelynn herself also provided tips and advice on the techniques
involved. Although relatively short (starting at 7:15 and ending
at 8:50), not a moment was wasted in this incredible evening.
