An exploration into the art and techniques of bastinado- a traditional form of coporal punishment involving striking the soles of the feet. Bastinado is a varied and intense form of play that appeals to a wide range of kinksters.
We will delve into the history and contemporary applications of bastinado from the sensual to the sadistic.

This workshop will include a theory and practical component.

Theory:

General safety, consent and negotiation of a scene

Introduction to bastinado

Anatomy of the foot and how to play safely

Exploring different techniques you can use from traditional to more modern approaches.

Demonstration and QA:
We will then take a small break so we can set up stations for you to explore various equipment and practice under the guidance of our facilitator who will roam and assist where needed.

Station 1. Canes

Station 2. Floggers

Station 3. Electro

Station 4. Sensory and other toys

It is not required to try each station as we all have our limits and boundaries. Observation is absolutely welcomed! Equipment will be provided but if you have your own please bring it along.
