Do you prefer the bite of a handcuff to the caress of rope.? Are you having trouble tying all those knots? Does the sound of a padlock clicking into place get you hard or wet?

Seattle's a big rope town, and it's easy to forget that there are LOTS of ways to restrain someone without rope.

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.

Most of this equipment comes from Max's personal collection; some items are borrowed from other bondage tops around town.  We may even have a guest speaker and/or gear for sale - details are still being worked out.

We'll have leather sleepsacks, straitjackets, cuffs, a cage, hoods and more. After some introductory comments, most pieces will be available for your hands-on experimentation.

For each type of gear, Max will address

    What makes it special and cool
    Gear-specific technique
    Safety considerations specific to this type of gear
    Where to get it

If you're a rope fan, this workshop may open your eyes to a new world of play. And if you like bondage gear you'll love the opportunity to see and use some cool gear.

This workshop doesn't hit the rotation very often - in fact the last time it was offered was in 2006.  Don't miss out!

No prior knowledge of bondage is assumed for this class - it's perfectly appropriate for beginners, and for all genders and orientations.

There will be lots of time to play with the gear.  If you can, come with a practice partner. If you don't have a partner, come anyway and we'll make sure you get a chance to see how the gear works.

 Rope Bottoms: this is your chance to meet some rope tops! Come learn and experience a LOT of cool gear.

Cost at the door: $40. Pre-registration is NOT required.
