January 3: Vancouver Dungeon workshop and play party
MVK presents our first monthly workshop and play party in 2009.

Afternoon Workshop:Beginning/Intermediate Whip Workshop
presented by Jonn Ireland, 1:00pm - 4:00pm, 1.5 hours workshop, 1.5 hours guided practice. $20-30 sliding scale
This is a “Hands on Workshop” presented by Jonn Ireland, Whip Master www.sensualwhipping.com of Seattle, so please bring your whips. Participants will learn and practice various techniques. You will learn to use a Bullwhip for wraps and hard strikes to add spice to your Scene, several different ways to throw a Signal Whip, unusual areas to strike the body, positions to use in a Scene when you do not have a rack or a cross, techniques for limited space (like a bedroom), bondage and whips, how to use two whips at once, one in each hand for specific techniques including “9 and 3”, Cross Cracking forehand and backhand, Florentine and others. Whip techniques can vary from light wraps brushing skin with the whip tips, to using the whip tip for cracks off and then on the skin, each one producing different effects on the bottom and being used in different places as the Scene progresses. The Scene can vary in intensity from gentle stroking, to fiery rain and progress into painful, red welted stripes, depending on the intent and skill of the Top and the interests and limits of the bottom.
Due to venue space, class size is limited to 30 max, to register please email contact+register@metrovancouverkink.com.
