The cane is one of the fundamental symbols in the realm of kink and BDSM, and its wielder a powerful archetype. Presented by Cane Connoisseur, Mistress Zoe Demure, this workshop is not to be missed.

Covering both the theory and practice of caning, this workshop delves into the wide selection of canes available, their respective uses, and shows you how to determine the quality of a cane. In order to ensure everyone follows best practice in safety protocols, Mistress Zoe will explain how to negotiate for a caning scene, including a discussion about anatomy and physiology in respect to caning. During a live demonstration you will observe proper caning techniques, anatomical safety, and examine the different techniques for building play from light to heavy, while learning how to avoid or correct common mistakes like wrapping. You will also have the opportunity to see various styles of caning including sensual, punishment, and judicial, and discuss the different dynamics and requirements for negotiation strategy.

Attendees to this workshop should expect a theory-based class, so bring along any note taking equipment you like to use.

The class will commence at 7.15pm, and we will allow for a 15-20 minute break within the class, with some light refreshments provided.

Following the class there will be some time for a Q&A.
