Whether you are already in an M/s or D/s relationship or you would like to be in one, this class is for you. International Master and slave 2011, Liza and her slave, Jody, will lead a guided discussion investigating the important building blocks for an M/s or D/s relationship, including what to think about in crafting this kind of relationship, techniques for enhancing the relationship and the power dynamic, and how to keep the heat while sustaining an M/s or D/s relationship over the long haul.

Many of our leather traditions and certain Master/slave or Dom/sub protocols came from the military and from the Victorian era. In this class, International Master and slave, Liza and her slave, Jody, will discuss the connections between military protocol, the traditions of so-called “old guard” leather, and etiquette according to Emily Post. You will learn a little of the history of military protocols and leather traditions, including some of the reasons for certain traditions so you can decide which, if any, you wish to incorporate into your lifestyle and dynamic. We will discuss the other traditions that influence our leather lifestyles. We will also discuss the function of rank and hierarchy in the military, and in Victorian (and perhaps even Edwardian) households and how these can translate into M/s, D/s and related relationships.
Emerging from the Shadows
Do you sometimes feel as if the images you see don’t feel like you? Join Liza and her slave, Jody (International Master and slave 2011) as we all emerge from the Shadows and celebrate the joys and challenges faced by female Masters and their slaves.
Did you break a bone (or 2) as a kid and wear a cast? Did you ever eroticize the cast or casting process? Have you ever thought of using casting materials for bondage?
Please join me as we talk about, and play with, casting materials.
THIS CAN BE A MESSY WORKSHOP! PLEASE BE PREPARED!

This class expands on the basics presented in Rubber 101. The class will be equally fun and informative for those who attended Rubber 101 as well as those new to rubber! We will discuss and have demonstrations of liquid latex body painting, rubber bondage (including a vac bed), and basic rubber repair. There will also be opportunities for some people to try on some rubber items and experience the unparalleled, erotic feeling of rubber!
This class is open to everyone, and questions are encouraged! So feel free to bring your rubber questions, or email in advance and they will be read and answered in class! And if you are interested in trying something rubbery and being a demo bottom email NorthmanATL@gmail.com . No experience needed, only an open mind and no latex allergies. Preference will be given to those who haven’t gotten to experience any of these things previously.

Ever heard someone say, “I’m hairy it would hurt to wear rubber” or “I’m too big to wear rubber”? In this class we'll dispel some common myths about rubber as we cover rubber basics. We'll talk a bit about: the rubber community; where to connect with rubberists and find more information; how and where to shop for rubber; latex thickness and colors; types of rubber gear available; how to put on rubber; kinky play ideal for rubber, and kink play that’s not so ideal when in rubber; how to remove rubber; and how to clean, care, and store rubber. Techniques for getting into and out of rubber without damaging it will be demonstrated. And of course everyone will get an opportunity to touch!
This class is open to everyone, and questions are encouraged! So feel free to bring your rubber questions, or email NorthmanATL@gmail.com in advance and they will be read and answered in class!

Everyone loves to claim they play on the edge, or their style of being kinky is somehow greater than the average pervert. Yet even among the uber-kinky, there are those of us who have fantasies - or play styles - which seem to be beyond what is considered "acceptable." Is your kink really "OK"? How can you tell? Are there boundaries to fantasies? Should there be? Should we/can we own our most unmentionable ones?
How do you share fantasies with a partner if they make you uncomfortable? This workshop is more of a guided discussion group on the process of identifying, naming, sharing and potentially enacting our scariest fantasies. It's not about being outrageous to shock others - it's about fear of community mores, worries about personal responsibility, shameful eroticism and secret joys.
This is a "closed door" workshop - once it begins, we will close the door on the outside world, both vanilla and kinky, and let loose. Participants must come prepared to write down a fantasy or playstyle (anonymously, if they wish) and turn it in to the presenter. If you think this might "trigger" you, please don't come.
