While this workshop will include some basics, such as products and tips for working on different garments, the focus is on the interaction between the two individuals in a leather care scene.

Whether it's simply massaging a person through their leather shirt or incorporating complex kink dynamics into bootblacking, this session should give you some ideas for the next time your leathers need to be worked on. 

This will include some demonstrations of scene options and time to ask about specific leather care needs. 

After this workshop, space will be made for a leather social.

An interactive workshop for beginners to caring for boots.

This will cover the basics of cleaning, conditioning and shining boots whether you're just planning to take care of your own, or work on a stand at your local leather or kink space.

We'll also cover setting up a stand, negotiating a bootblacking scene and the tipping culture of Bootblacks if the group is inclined to. 

Feel free to ask questions throughout, and bring your own boots if you like, work with a partner, or just sit back and watch!

Billy will run a story-weaving workshop which involves sharing stories and collectively weaving these stories together while weaving foraged items into a wheel. 

The purposes of this workshop are to hand over the power of storytelling to all for community building, wellbeing and connection, to hold space for creativity in both words and physical crafts, and to teach people new skills around making practical and creative use of natural materials and foraged treasures. 

The workshop invites participants to weave in a collective wheel or individually so that they have something to take away.
