Sploshing: fun with food.

Messy...sticky...sexy

Join -succubus- as we get wet and messy with this tactile, aromatic and visually engaging form of fetish play. 

Join Angel and Tiger and learn the art of Florentine flogging.

The term “Florentine” was originally designated to the art of wielding two weapons. Florentine Flogging refers to the art of using two floggers, one in each hand, in many combinations. It’s most commonly thought of as swinging two floggers in interlocking figure 8 patterns.

Florentine is both elegant to watch and rhythmical to feel. Angel and Tiger will discuss Florentine flogging; the best types of floggers to use; provide some Florentine demonstrations; and then use simple formulas to teach the techniques. You will leave with the knowledge needed to incorporate some double handed rhythms into corporal punishment scenes and the skills to add some flare into your flogging style.

This is a “hands on” class so it would be ideal for students to bring two floggers which are the same or similar length and weight. A good length when starting out with Florentine flogging is about 60-80cm.

It’s best if there is some weight in the fall so that the strands fall easily together, but not so heavy that they are hard to manage when wielding for a period of time. You can bring articulated floggers, although they can be a little more difficult to handle.

With practice this will be one lesson you will never forget. Tiger and Angel will work with everyone in the class so that you will go away with the knowledge to “Florentine up a storm”.

Have you ever wondered what that was going on in the corner of the room? It looks so subtle and
yet, it can be one of the most intense scenes you will ever witness.
Bootblacks, what’s it all about? In this 90-minute workshop, KL will take you through a demonstration, cover boot tech 101 how to clean, condition and polish boots, various types of boots and leather care. She’ll also cover some tips about etiquette while sitting for a bootblack.

Consent: keeping you safe and enhancing your pleasure 

Presented By Tanya Koens

Using the wheel of consent Tanya will discuss how consent can encompass and then transcend safety into a pleasure enhancing tool for lovers to use

Consent can be used from safety through to see negotiations through to getting the maximum pleasure out of your sexual and play interaction

Come to this workshop to learn just to radical consent can be. 

What does it mean to be Leather?

For many of us Leather culture is aloof and mysterious. As the internet has become the main gateway into the Kink community, leather bars and clubs become scarce and seemingly inaccessible to those that don’t know the etiquette or have the right clothes. But there is more to leather than owning some chaps and a good leather harness.

Studio Kink is proud to present an introduction to Leather Culture presented by Mr Woof Club and Leather Man, Knut Larsen.

Knut, originally from Norway, was introduced to Leather 25 years ago first experiencing the European scene in Oslo and Hamburg, then in Berlin. He has been out in the leather for 10 years in Sydney and in 2014 represented Australia at International Mr Leather in Chicago as Mr WoofClub, he is still the current title holder.

An active community member of the Leather scene in Sydney, Knut has worked towards creating space with Pop-up Leather bars and continuing friendships here and overseas.

Playing with singletails has been the goal for many in SM play. The sight of the whip snaking and the sound of the cracker popping invokes mystique and beauty, fear and lust, pleasure and pain – almost all at the same time. It is like no other whip in it’s ability to terrorise. Whilst if played with skill it is more akin to playing a fine instrument as the tongue can be used to lick or to bite or to kiss.

Come with us as we discover the powerful mystique which can deliver an extreme experience. These whips when wielded with skill manage to be beautiful, delicate, and savage, all at once.

This workshop focuses on the most common whips used for BDSM - 3' and 4' single tails.

This workshop is designed for those who have never held, or seldom held, a whip in their hands and desire to learn the essential techniques for safe enjoyable whip use in a scene.

We will cover the following important aspects; whip construction, where to hit and where not to hit, warming up your whip and your bottom, basic technique and practising tips, and he will also discuss choosing the right whip for you.

The Joy of Chains

Presented by O2DV8

Chains are hard, cold, heavy, and noisy and can be extremely erotic when used in a BDSM scene, however they are often overlooked and rarely used.

This workshop will look at the creative use of chain for erotic bondage and arousal, both physically and mentally.

We will cover everything one needs to be aware of to safely enjoy the erotic use of chain from the basis equipment through to how to send another into sensual ecstasy.

Sensual Orchestration
Scening with Sensation Play

Sensation Play is a great way to get started in BDSM, to expand your kinky repertoire or enhance your existing sex life.

Sensation play can be adapted for both sexual and non-sexual play and is appropriate for ace-spectrum people who enjoy physical touch.

Moving from topping & bottoming to service, dominance & submission and mastery & slavery
Or getting BDSM out of the bedroom or dungeon and making it into a lifestyle.

What it's about. What you can get out of it. What's involved.

The psychological side of things.

Why some people confine BDSM to the dungeon or bedroom.

Starting small and building up. Making it more profound. Making it more satisfying. When it feels like "being home".

The realm of littles and Bigs in the BDSM stratosphere is often misunderstood and even worse, feared.  What is age play really all about, and what could possible be the appeal?

In this workshop, geared to anyone, on either side of the slash, of any level of experience, we hope to lift the veil on this often secretive, sometimes shameful, sometimes vilified, corner of the BDSM community.  We will discuss such topics as: dark age play, age regression, what to expect, age play archetypes vs BDSM archetypes, what age play is and what it is not.

Whether you are a Daddy, a middle, yet to decide, or none of the above, this is an opportunity to get the straight facts, in a nurturing environment, from one who not only lives this genre of the lifestyle, but also loves it very much.  Safe and secure in a very inclusive setting, no respectful question is off limits; the aim is to educate and perhaps even help someone along their journey to becoming a little or a Caregiver/Big.

Oh, there may be candy and colouring available to attendees - just saying!

Internal sexiness – are you feeling yourself?
Developing and understanding our identities within our bodies

Presented by Miss Alyssa Kitt

“Sexy” is a construct for how we feel. How we project our sexuality is more than a DS title, or the latex/ collars that we wear. Our inward sexuality is developed through a process of understanding ourselves in our own bodies and minds.  Growing and practicing internal sexiness is like any muscle, it only gets stronger with practice.

This workshop will focus on developing and understanding our identities from within. Experimenting with movement, flow and dance, this workshop aims to connect you to your body, while building confidence from the inside out.

Join internationally acclaimed burlesque artist Miss Alyssa Kitt for this unique workshop, developed over a decade worth of experience performing and teaching burlesque. Fierce, formidable and a feminist fatale -Alyssa Kitt has been a practicing kinkster for her whole adult life. She’s an award winning burlesque performer and expert on body politics, identity setting, and whose work as a writer, journalist and advocate for body positivity has been widely published and broadcast.

What to bring: clothes that you would be comfortable to move in (can be anything from activewear to lingerie).

Phallus Pleasuring with Tanya Koens

Whether you own a phallus, have an energetic phallus or like to pleasure phalluses, this workshop promises a fun experience for all.  Better still there may be chocolate!

As a pleasure activist, Tanya is keen to get people talking about sex and pleasure.  In this workshop she will get people talking by using their bodies.  It’s fun, flirty, very sexy as well as educational!  And you don’t have to take your clothes off!

Using breath and intention we will create fun and interactive opportunities to explore phallus pleasuring.  This workshop is a fun way to show you how you can give and receive pleasure in a deliberate and embodied way.

A DV8’s take on breath play. 

Controlling your partners ability to breathe can be thrilling rush of power and as the saying goes, with power comes  responsibility.  The risk of serious harm while doing breathplay is high so learning what those risks are and how to reduce them is part of the responsibility you take on when agreeing to this type of play.  

Mark DV8 has a wealth of knowledge about breath play, not just technique but the considerations of safety and ethics. While all our play is based on consent it’s important to know just what you are consenting to. 

 Join Mark DV8 as he discusses the pleasures and pitfalls of breathplay.

This interactive discussion is your chance to 'Ask a Dominant'.
If you want to understand how the other side of the coin works or if you want a different perspective on what it is that you do, ask away.

We will be having a moderated discussion where attendees get to pose the questions. For this we will bring together a panel so that answers come from a variety of experiences and perspectives (all identifying as dominant).

Understanding kinky play styles: travels through erotic space

This workshop explores the basic dimensions of erotic play.  You will learn how to design play roles for the way you feel at the time of playing.

You will learn to recognise and navigate the various categories of "play" (these are NOT "categories of people"!) so that you can move between activities as your moods change.  Of particular importance is how to use role play and themes on those occasions when two players aren't neat "opposites". And you'll also learn why "plain vanilla" is actually at the centre of it all and should be harnessed (forgive the pun) rather than despised.

The not so humble brat holds an unique place on the wide spectrum of dominant and submissive personality.  Sometimes celebrated, sometimes maligned, often misunderstood, brattery presents quite the challenge for anyone braving the brat. And yet, once connected and understood brats make the most fiercely loyal partners who can always be counted upon to help you hide the bodies. 

In this class Aleni will share her experience of brats, the good, the bad and the hilarious. 

ever had carpet burn on your knees or pulled your back out trying an advanced move? 
Felicity can help you identify which actions can be modified and how to prepare your body for a sassy work-out.

I see you shiver with antici...pation. The mind is the biggest erogenous zone.

There is an art to mindfucks. Playing off expectations, building anticipation, planting red herrings and creating distractions.
How do you get a fear response with someone who trusts you with their safety? How do you surprise someone who has seen it all before? How do you explore those deep dark places that are impossible to really visit?
This class will discuss what a mindfuck is, how to play with them, safety precautions as well as plenty of tips, tricks and ideas to either get you started or give you a little something extra up your sleeve. 

No partner, or experience, is required for this class - though feel free to bring both along!

Pain play or Sadi-masochism is not always about cruelty or brute force. In fact, some of the best pain play sessions are more about coming None Tinh with your play partner in a deeply intense way. 

In this session Aleni will demonstrate her technique for impact play that uses the pain itself as the  device that forms the connection. 

We recommend this class for both tops and bottoms who would like to explore this type of play.

Making connections in spaces that aren’t your usual stomping ground

What's a girl to do if she's invited to a bear party but isn't hairy? What's a bear to do if he wants to go to an event that welcomes men but is designed for women? How does anyone relate to someone they don't know, are different from or don't identify with, if they want to make a new friend or connection of any kind?

As the title suggests, this workshop is about being a fish out of water, or being in a space, particularly in the fetish or LGBTIQ community, which isn't your usual stomping ground. Learn from my experiences as a lesbian, a bear, a social worker and a leatherwoman. Whilst lots of workshops focus on technical skills, this workshop is all about building relationships, which are the first step towards fetish play, and often the hardest thing to learn- especially if you're shy or find it hard to say hi to new people at parties.

In this workshop you'll be given the chance to hear some interesting stories, and try some new interpersonal and group facilitation skills that are relevant to all of us as kinksters and/or queer people. You'll leave with a few tricks up your sleeve for both breaking the ice in a new fetish or queer space, and creating spaces that are inclusive without losing their focus. Whether you're a veteran of the scene or completely new to community building, there's something here for you.
