No apologies for the pun, but be-weave it or not - learning to weave can be a great introduction to rope bondage. Weave patterns create the basis for many aesthetic and functional harnesses. And no knots are required! Attendees of this introductory rope class will learn to weave patterns for hand bondage, foot bondage, and a hip harness. Viewers should have two to three standard lengths of rope (26-30 feet) and one to two half length of rope (13-15 feet) to tie along, plus have an emergency cutting tool on hand. Self-tiers are recommended to have a spotter or emergency exit plan in place. Bio: Cecilia T. Winters ('CTW' - She/Her) is your typical queer Millennial. Born at the start of the internet age, she has always benefited from information at her fingertips. She identifies as bisexual and ethically non-monogamous. She has served as a dungeon and playspace monitor, a demo top for a number of local and national kink events, and as a presenter. She enjoys giving first suspensions to people new to being tied in rope; suspending willing victims for long, sadistic scenes; and suspending herself with rope and chain. Her non-kink interests include reading, making lists, watching early 2000s crime dramas, and learning about ancient human cultures. Together with her partner Fischer Garrett ('Mister' - He/Him), they teach chain bondage. Check out their website (www.theartofchain.com) for more information about their upcoming book, The Art of Chain: A Guide to Steel Restraint.

Whether you’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’ or looking to pull your favorite little slut over your knee for a spanking – preparing for an impact scene from either side of the slash can be intimidating. Luckily, this workshop covers everything you need to know to get started! From bare hands to paddles and from floggers to canes we’ll be discussing the many tools at your disposal and the things to consider when building up your collection. Then we’ll move on to discussing safety tips, and the skills that go into successfully planning, negotiating, and executing your scenes. We’ll cover essential skills for tops, such as how and where to hit someone, rhythm and pacing, interpreting your bottom’s reactions, and the art of leaving marks (or not!). We’ll also dig into pain management tools, subspace, bruise aftercare, and other essential skills every masochist should know. Finally, we’ll wrap it all up with a live demo where you can see how everything we discussed comes together while I dole out some “intense sensation” to my eager co-presenter!
