Hay you! Put on your horseshoes, get out of the barn, and get into the show ring. Pet play, specifically pony play can be intimidating. In this class, we will demystify some of the mane concepts of pony play including equipment, handing/training, safety/consent, and different types of pony play scenes. Do you want to know if you are a dressage pony, cart pony, hunter/jumper, or breeding stock? Are you an Arabian, Clydesdale, or Shetland pony? We will talk about how those labels within your pony identity can be reflected in your play. Once you learn about pony play, your neigh will turn into a yay!

About Beth:
Welcome to this little pony part of the world. Beth (she/her) wholeheartedly joined the Leather, Fetish, and Kink community in 2012.

Have you wanted to try fire play?  Even better, learn fire play? If that answer is Yes! , then join us to learn more!  Fascinating and frightening, fire play is edge play, also an art, that can be sensual, erotic, and relaxing... or not....

We will begin by sharing what is in my fire kit and the basic equipment you need to get started in fire play.  Once we have the "stuff" covered, we will talk about safety and demonstrate the fun of fire.  Fleshing, fire painting, or fire massage, is sensual, relaxing and warms up the skin so nicely.  Fleshing is a wonderful way to warm up your bottom.  Many find fleshing all that they are looking for in fire play.  However, there are those who still have that sparkle in their eye.  Fire Cupping, can be sensual, erotic and relaxing, but also so much more that is not so painless. We will demonstrate the techniques of cupping and how to create those gorgeous marks can be left behind.

Join me to learn all of this, maybe a little bit more, get answers to your questions, and have a LOT of fun!

About Linworth:

Linworth originally came to the scene as an anthropology student, stumbling into the Ohio Leather and kink realm.  Since then, as anthropologists would say, she has gone completely native, adopting the kink lifestyle as her own.  After more than a handful of years she has settled into her main kinks of power exchange, energy exchange, and rope bondage, with the occasional bout of sadomasochism.  While normally the shy type, her passion for education brings out her spunky side.  Whether teaching on consent culture, rope, or the safe practice of all things kinky, she brings a sense of charm and excitement to the classroom.  She is also a proud organizer and volunteer based in Columbus, Ohio, who on occassion makes it further afield.  Given the chance, she will gladly talk your ear off about all of the projects she's currently working on to better the community.

About JuniperW:

JuniperW has been an avid rope lover since she went on a 'rope-ride' at a Halloween fetish party in Columbus, Ohio in 2016.  She prefers floor work, and enjoys gentle, sensual rope as well as more goofy, silly encounters.  She also has quite the soft spot for leg torture.  She has bottomed for rope to friends in her hometown, but has slowly started expanding to work with other rope enthusiasts.  She is also learning how to self tie!  As a general kinkster, JuniperW is more comfortable on the submissive side of the slash, but is continuously learning and exploring.  She has recently been investigating D/s energy through tea service.  Topics of great interest to her are inclusive language, shifting definitions and images of what rope play can be, expanding equity between persons who tie and persons who like to be tied, and anything related to Star Trek.  She is very devoted to rope education and is thrilled to be contributing to it's efforts.

4:00 PM (Main Stage) How to Tie a Human to a Fuck Log - Linworth and JuniperW

It turns out sporting goods companies have thought up a special solution for sore post-workout muscles - vibrating foam rollers.  Of course us kinksters can always come up with creative uses of everyday items, so why not translate that creativity here?  In particular, humans (with clitorises especially) enjoy vibrations for other "theurapeutic" reasons, and a foam roller is perfect for those humans to sit on.  And so, I give you . . . the fuck log.

By using the simple rope bondage techniques of tension, body handling, and frictions, Linworth will demonstrate plastering their tying partner to this novel vibrating apparatus.  And not only will they talk through how to apply the rope, they'll also discuss affected neuroscience aspects like the somatosensory system, vasovagal response, and why this exercise has even more profound effects than you might think.  Rope and vibration together - it's a wonderful, wonderful thing.

5:00 PM (Basement Pet Mats) Wax 101+: Basics and Beyond - Michele from Too Hot Candles

This class will cover:

• Types of wax that are sutiable and unsuitable for wax play
• What to look for when selecting candles/wax
• How coloring and fragrances can effect usability
• Rules and etiquette for wax play scenes
• Do's and don'td of wax play
• How to do different wax play techniques safely
• Understanding the differences between melting point vs.temperature
• And much more

About Michele:

Michele has been in the D/s and BDSM lifestyles for most of her adult life.  She's been an owned CNC slave for 26 years.  She says:

We are avid wax players.  The majority of wax play candles that we were able to find were 100% soy.  They never completely hardened on the body and removal was like using a sharp knife to smear peanut butter.  We then found 70/30 candles.  They were far superior, to us, than the soy candles, but they didn't have that 'bite' that we were looking for.

In 2018, we did months of research to learn everything possible about wax, candles, coloring, melting points, etc.  We then started experimenting with different blends to create a candle that has a 'bite', but hardens and cools quickly, won't cause burns and blisters (even when held close to the skin) and is uniform in temperarature, irrespective of color and fluorescence.  Once we developed the perfect blend, Too Hot Candles was formed.

Since then, we've taught wax classes at various venues up and down the East Coast.

5:00 PM (Basement Spider Web) The Sjambock - iLove Lamp (Patrick)

In South Africa, the sjambok is a very heavy cattle prod, whip, riding crop and an effective means of self-protection, made from either tightly wrapped Hippo or Rhino hide.  In the kink community, however, they are made from a firm, yet very flexible, polypropylene, and we can use them to deliver impressive welts, and gnarly bruises on our willing bottoms.  This presentation by iLoveLamp will cover all the basics of the sjambok.  He will go over how you hold and swing a sjambok, and he'll touch on gradually ramping up the intensity of impact with your bottom so you can maximize your bottom's bruising potential, while having an amazingly kinky scene you'll both love!

About iLoveLamp

iLoveLamp has been a very active member of the Indianapolis kink community for over 15 years, and has been engaging all things perversion for as long as he can remember.  He is a founding member of Indianapolis Kink Society (IKS) and creator of subSpace Indy, Indianapolis' first and only kink venue, which was established in 2017.  Over the years he has estblished himself as a heavy impact Top, focusing primarily on oversized floggers, dragontails, whips, canes, and the dreadful sjambok.  You can often find him at events at subSpace, either aiding in amazing kinky events, or putting some unfortunate soul upon a cross and beating them to a pulp. While he may look like a big, mean monster, he's really just a big fucking teddy bear.  You should give him a hug.

5:00 PM (Main Stage) Improv for Kinksters - ProfessorSweet

Improv and kink?  Really?  Yeah!  Lots of us no improv as a form of comedy, but beneath the laughter is a highly sophisticated system for connecting, communicating, and co-creating amazing experiences.  We'll have lots of fun and laughs, but the meat of it will focus on skills that are extremely relevant to kink: Staying present, responding to a partner's communication and actions, handling mistakes and playing with status.  This workshop welcomes people with all levels of experience, both in improv and kink!
