SUMMARY:TES IN PERSON – Bootblacking 101: Leather Care & Connection
DESCRIPTION:A beginner-friendly dive into the how and why of bootblacking. We’ll cover a bit of history\, break down common materials and tools\, and demonstrate techniques that keep leather looking (and feeling) delicious. We’ll also discuss consent\, service dynamics\, and the flirty magic that can spark over a pair of boots. Designed for the leather-curious\, nervous newbies\, and anyone who’s ever wondered what really happens at a bootblack stand. No experience required—just curiosity and a love for leather. \nBio:\nVikan (she/they) is a queer masochist\, photographer\, and bootblack who’s been active in the NYC kink scene since 2011. A chaos-loving weirdo who is somehow both extremely outgoing and painfully shy\, she runs on snacks\, aerial arts\, and an incurable fascination with leather. She loves the care\, history\, and intimacy of well-loved boots—and yes\, she absolutely wants to touch yours… if you’ll let her. \n\nLocation:\nThe Center (The Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center)\n208 West 13th Street\,\nNew York\, NY 10011 \nCost:\nMembers: $10\nNon-Members: $25\nRegistration in advance is strongly encouraged due to limited internet access at the venue.\nNote: Each attendee will need to have a separate account to register. \nRegistration Instructions \nIf You Already Have an Account \n\nRegister: Click here to go to the class registration page.\nLog in: Use your existing account information to log in and register for the class.
