Unfettered, the organisers of Kinkfest, are proud to bring you monthly BDSM workshops. The aim of these is to educate on various techniques and will cover topics such as equipment and safety.

The workshops will run on a monthly basis at the Fringe, between 14.00 and 17.00, normally on the fourth Sunday of the month. Tickets are £5 (£3 cons) available from the Unfettered website or Coffee Cake & Kink, 61 Endell Street, Covent Garden, London WC2, Fettered Pleasures, 90 Holloway Road, London N7 8JG or at the door on the day if still available.

The workshops will be run by people who are experienced and qualified in whatever the subject of the workshop is. The format may vary with some workshops having more of a try it yourself approach whilst others will be more demo based. Some workshops will include handouts.

May 22 Medical Play Mistress Morphia.
Mistress Morphia will demonstrate techniques for medical scenes.

June 26 Strap-ons Mistress Vamp
will repeat her legendary demo from Kinkfest 2004. Strap-on play can be a wonderful power game involving role reversal, sexual dominance and submission. For a woman, strapping on a penis can be playful, empowering, transforming, and arousing. The experience of surrendering to a phallic woman can be humiliating, punishing, and intensely intimate.

July 24 Electrical Toys with Fuschia, EGO and Conto.
The different sort of electrical toys that can be used for play will be demonstrated, including TENS, muscle stimulators, various 'black boxes' and the spectacular Violet Wand.

August 21 Bondage with Master Rope Knot.
MRK has been demoing and performing for 5 years now and has extensive knowledge of rope techniques from simple wrist cinches to suspension, all of which he has a gift for explaining.

September 25 Interrogation Scenes with Monkey.
An introductory look at interrogation in BDSM scenes, from roleplay to more realistic scenes utilising genuine military interrogation techniques.

October 23 Household Toys with MsDemmie.
You don't need hundreds of pounds worth of toys to have kinky fun. To the pervy all things are pervy. A light-hearted look at "perverting" everyday household items.

November 27 Whips Alex Jacob.
Alex, the UK's leading whipmaker and arguably whip-wielder, demonstrates some aspects of using whips.

December 11 T-girlie Night In, led by Ravenqueen of Club Goddess and Allison.
It's Tranny and Susannah time, offering girlie hair, make up and grooming tips for the party season. Bring clothes, hair, and make up, for a fun girls night in. (Real Girls, don't feel left out, you can be a bloke if you feel like it.)

Events are open to everyone over 18. There's no dresscode, come as you want. Though some of the topics are 'advanced', all events will be welcoming to all, gender, experience, orientation is irrelevant here.
