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

What better time to draw a model than when they are in bondage? The model is focused and excited, they can’t move (much), the ropes and other ties make for dramatic lines and unusual poses. Join greg1113 for a fun evening of art making. He will guide you through getting down on paper the sight and feel of the caress of the bonds, and give you tools to take back to your own dungeon. People of all artistic abilities are welcome. Please bring art materials or $5 to contribute towards supplies. Creations will be considered for publication (with consent) in Prometheus!   TES Members $5 Students & Military with ID $10 Reciprocal Groups $10 Non-Members $20 Cash Only
