Reminder: Teaching Impact Play - Beyond Floggers And Canes at the Citadel, in San Francisco

Here's a reminder that I'll be teaching my very (ahem) 'hands on,' class, Impact Play: Beyond Floggers And Canes at the Citadel, in San Francisco on Tuesday June 18!

Here's the info:

Dress code: Whatever makes you comfortable

Join this workshop to receive (ahem) 'hands-on' instruction in a wide and sometimes-strange variety of different impact toys hands, hairbrushes, paddles, crops, wooden spoons, batons, quirts, and more. While often the physics of these toys are sometimes closely related, to use each one effectively takes particular skill and techniques that are not immediately apparent.
