Thursday July 16th
7:30 PM @ Stormy Leather Retail Store

If you love rope and you love to hurt people or be hurt, this class is for you. You'll learn and/or experience tying and hoisting techniques that can be challenging and painful in their own right, and open the door for S&M with other implements.

In this class you will:
• learn my theories on challenging ties
• discuss various ways of installing overhead points at home or on the go
• lean how to properly tie and test a suspension ring to an overhead point
• discuss the advantages of partial suspensions for sadistic ends
• review "hands-on" the "captured bands" and "captured bight" as the foundations of an arm/chest binding
• learn "hands-on" the complete arm/chest binding
• explore various ways to complete the partial suspension
• see and (time permitting) practice other partial suspensions

Couples and singles welcome, but everyone participates! Singles should be willing to both tie and be tied. Those wishing to be tied (including singles) should wear supple yet form fitting clothes. NO JEANS.

Bring a towel or yoga mat and juice or a small snack! Bring 4 lengths of 25'-30' hemp or jute rope. Please do not bring cotton or synthetic fiber rope

Here's a class for fun-loving, wicked tops and for bottoms who enjoy a challenge. A predicament bondage creates a situation where the bottom is between a rock and a hard place.' Which ever direction the bottom moves has consequences, either physical or psychological. It can challenge your endurance, your pain threshold, or your pride.


The class will include several demos, and you may have an opportunity to volunteer for one.
If you're a service bottom or an escape artist, you may get a new challenge!


$20 in advance, $25 at the door.

Please come to this class armed with basic safety and usage knowledge - Darin will only briefly cover these topics so as to leave the majority of the class free to teach more advanced play.

We hope to see you there!

When Mike West thinks of Japan, he thinks of two things: rope bondage and great sex toys. There's a whole lot of fun to be had with these items separately or, as Mike will be demonstrating at this event, together!

This class will show you how to tie for and around dildos, plugs, eggs, hooks, TENS units, and vibrators, including the A-Bomb of vibrators, the H*tachi Magic Wand. Get some ideas for that perfect Valentine's Day gift! We're also going to play "Stump the Top" and see if we can propose a toy that Mike can't tie for play - you don't want to miss this segment, which is guaranteed to be hysterical!

The class will be in a lecture and demonstration format (as opposed to a hands on workshop) designed to be friendly to singles and those who are more comfortable watching and getting ideas rather than participating step-by-step. There will be space for tying along with the demos if you are so inclined, but there will not be one-on-one assistance or assigned practice time.

Participants will receive a 20% discount on purchases made directly prior to the event, so arrive early, do some shopping, and prepare for a class that will give you plenty of new ideas for the contents of your toy box!

Date: Thursday, February 7th
Time: 7:30 p.m.

There are no prerequisites for this entry level class, but advanced players, don't despair - there will be something fun for every level of experience!

Advance ticket price: $20 per person. Tickets available online at stormyleather.com, at Stormy Leather's retail store at 1158 Howard St., or over the phone by calling 800-486-9650 or 415-626-1672. Tickets will be $25 at the door. Email Kirsten@stormyleather.com with any questions.
