I have been to many wax play classes and noticed they are solely focused on so called “kink safe” wax candles. Usually these are candles that are handmade and burn at a lower temperature. They are also very expensive. But despite this I have seen these kink safe candles being misused and causing serious burns. I wanted to offer a class based on my research on how to do wax play scenes with regular candles that are far cheaper, and emphasize using the candles safely. Whether one uses a lit candle for wax play or melts a larger amount of wax using slow cooker there is a way to do it safely and get the most from your wax play scene. I will also talk a bit about the second part of wax play which is removing the wax. So a bit of knife play will be discussed as well as other methods. I also want to explore the different styles of wax play scenes including sensation based scenes, artistic scenes and ritualistic scenes.  I will also show how to incorporate wax play into other kinds of scenes as well, such as impact, bondage and suspension. My class will have a demo bottom to showcase one of the styles of wax play. And the class will get a chance to try a little bit of wax to get a feeling for the sensation.

We talk about hypnosis as a multi-tool that can do everything from create an intense connection between partners to create a fun and silly role play scene. And that's true, but in essence, these wildly different scenarios can be expressions of the same but powerful transformative effect. What do being deep and cataleptic and being a ""Bimbo Dinosaur"" have in common? What is it to change who you are, a little or a lot, for a period of time with (or for) another person? This introspective class, taught through the filter of D/s from a submissive perspective, will include demos that highlight that at its core, a hypnotic relationship can be about the ever-changing expression of self of a person (or persons) and what it means to be transformed from the outside in. While it's geared more intermediate to advanced, the larger ideas of what we're discussing are applicable to any kinkster. GleefulAbandon is a hypnofetishist, submissive, and queer (in multiple senses of the word). After over five amazing years in the Scene so far, she is constantly thrilled by the wonderful people and weird experiences (and vice versa) that she encounters. She is an active volunteer for TES as Media Representative.

Its an introduction to what BDSM is about, consent, safety, negotiation, your rights and responsibilities and of course, a introduction to what Bondage play is about. In this class we'll discuss multiple topics and also have a quick introduction to Rope Bondage to better prepare newcomers to immerse themselves in the TESfest Rope Track. What's the Rope Track? There will be at least one Rope class during every class time slot during TESfest. So, if you are new to the scene, want to get better at rope, please attend! In this workshop, everyone ties/is tied so they get a sense of what Rope Bondage play is about. It is strongly advised to bring 2 pieces of 1/4" (6mm) rope, 25-30 ft in length. Since I strongly prefer Jute rope for Japanese style bondage (aka Shibari or Kinbaku), thats what I tie with and will be offering hanks of jute for sale at the class. Please contact BoundtoFly on Fetlife if you would like to reserve yours for purchase. TES Members $5 Students & Military with ID $10 Reciprocal Groups $10 Non-Members $20 Cash Only
