This workshop is your chance to get up close and personal with a whole lot of extraordinary bondage equipment. This isn’t the stuff you see during a normal party - it’s unusual, often custom-made, and always diabolically effective.
Many pieces of gear and material will be discussed and displayed. We'll have leather sleepsacks, straitjackets, a cravat, cuffs, cages, hoods and more. After some introductory comments, most pieces will be available for your hands-on experimentation.
For each type of gear, we'll address
- What it’s about and why we like it
- Gear-specific technique
- Safety considerations specific to this type of gear
- Where to get it
To supplement Max's personal collection, Tom Wood will be bringing many pounds of metal bondage gear up from San Francisco. Tom has been a friend and colleague for many years, is one of the best rope tops around, and is a serious metal bondage fan.
As a special bonus, Bill of Williams Metalware will be bringing his line of metal restraints and talking about how he makes his metal gear. You can see Bill's work on the Rainbow Rope site - go to Products, and then Metalware.
The workshop will begin with several demonstrations of high-end bondage equipment. You'll get a chance to ask questions and see how the gear works.
The remainder of the workshop will be structured to allow one-on-one interactions between you and the presenters. Ask questions, examine the equipment, and spend some time putting it on your partner or trying it on for size yourself.
We won't be doing "scenes" of course. The objective will be learning, having fun, and experimenting with equipment you wouldn't normally have access to.
This workshop is perfect for both bondage tops and bondage bottoms. If you've wanted to see how the equipment in the movies and on the web sites feels, come try it on. If you've contemplated an expensive equipment purchase or commissioning a piece of custom gear, come check out what we have and talk with the other folks in the room. And if you just want to watch a stunning display of exotic bondage "stuff", this is the place.
This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.
