Needle Play 101 Class with David

The class will be focused on safe handling, opening, inserting, removing, and disposing of needles to create a needle "button" on a body. A "button" is two needles that cross in an X shape through the surface of the skin. There is very little blood (if any) and only a small superficial wound is created.

The class will consist of a brief lecture, a demo, and supervised practice. All materials for the practice will be provided, including: gloves, needles, alcohol swabs, cork caps, sharps disposal container, decorative ribbon, and first aid supplies in case of accidents.

Anyone may observe the class. Bring a willing bottom if you have one. Practice on yourself is possible if you do not have a bottom. Safest areas of needle play on the body will be discussed.

After the class, needle kits for play at home will be available for purchase for $20 cash.

Needle Play 201 Class with David

The 201 class will be focused on creating a needle "ladder" and "square" on a body. A "ladder" is two vertical parallel needles with up to six intersecting horizontal needles that form a ladder shape. A "square" is four overlapping needles forming a square shape. There is a higher risk of bleeding with these advanced shapes than the "button" taught in the 101 Class.

Attendance at the Needle 101 class prior is highly encouraged, but for those who could not attend we will briefly recap safe handling, opening, inserting, moving, and disposing of needles.

Anyone may observe the class. Bring a willing bottom if you have one. Practice on yourself is possible if you do not have a bottom. Safest areas of needle play on the body will be discussed.

After the class, needle kits for play at home will be available for purchase for $20 cash.

Single Tails in Small Places

Love whips? Do you get all tingly inside at the sound of a whip crack? Do you enjoy watching the dance of the long whip? These are all very beautiful things, but how can you bring them indoors? Bring your short whips and we will go over how to bring that fun indoors. In this class we will go over some of the basics of the whip. Some different classes of whip. What class of whip would best fit your play style. And how to throw them indoors and in smaller places.

The Right Side of the Lash: Essential Bottoming Skills with Wildchild

This class is for anyone interested in exploring the receptive role in BDSM scenes. From initial vetting and negotiation through scene play, aftercare, and managing drop, you’ll gain practical tools to let go, have fun, and take personal responsibility as an active participant in consensual play.

Rope 2.0 The Stardust Pentagram Harness

This is not your grandma’s pentagram harness! It has multiple frictions in the front that slowly build the 5 points of the star, giving it a Japanese aesthetic that looks amazing in photographs. This version differs from the pentagram harness that is usually shown to beginners, which is built of long diagonal lines.

This class is specifically designed for advanced beginners to intermediate students. We will have 1.5 hours to go over needed safety equipment, anatomy for rope, a demonstration, and then the tie-along. A handout completes the learning.

Prerequisites:

be able to tie a reverse tension single column tie
know how to extend rope (use of the square knot technique is preferred)
be able to follow a classroom lecture-type presentation, a tie-along, or learn from printed material

To Bring:
• Your usual safety equipment (at least EMT shears)
• 2 to 3 hanks of rope, 5 to 6 mm preferred, 25 to 30 foot lengths work well
• Items for additional decoration of the harness once complete, to really give it that “stardust” vibe - optional
• A partner to tie with. This harness does not lend itself to self-tying. You may try to find a partner at the event or bring a pre-arranged partner.

Strong as a s-type with RainStormm

Contrary to popular belief, being an s-type is not for the weak. Come to a class and discussion regarding the strength of our role. Whether it is self discipline or how we identify outside of our dynamic, being an s-type is ripe with opportunities to be a warrior, a service champion or a submissive wizard. We will discuss what strength can look like and different types of strong qualities that identify us closer to a morning glory than a shrinking violet. Come and share in strength and community!

The Bright Side of Pain: Processing Heavy Sensation with Wildchild

Explore how to navigate intensity in play. This workshop breaks down the nervous system’s response to pain. Learn breathwork, mindfulness, and communication tools to distinguish "good" pain from "bad," regulate your body, and transform scene dynamics from simple endurance into deep connection.

Electrical Play with GuildINpdx

Thank you for the opportunity to lead a class. I say lead because it is not something you teach. Electro play is felt. Electricity is inherently dangerous and as with everything we in the kink community do, has it's own risks and precautions. This class is to express the risks, types of wands, and their Pros/Cons. This class will also go over hands on for both Tops AND bottoms to experience hands on what it feels like for each type of wand and function.

Intro

Dangers/Risks/What to ask in negotiation.

What each wand is and how it works. Possible breakdown of mechanical wand and solid state.

Pros/Cons of each unit.

Hands on demonstration

Q&A

If you have your own wand/s please feel free to bring them!
