Looking for a class that will teach you what you want to know? We've got that, too! Looking for a mentor to help you learn something new in the playspace? You know it! Looking for a chance to show off all you already know, and cruise some attendees who are curious to learn more about your skills? Get to class!!

A day filled completely with a dizzying array of classes to attend.
Sunday Make Play Happen! - Hands-On Education
You've spent the weekend learning in our classrooms from some of our nation's best BDSM presenters. Now, its time to put away the notes, roll up your sleeves and Make Play Happen! This hands-on, try-it-yourself opportunity is more than your basic exploratorium. Our experienced instructors create and maintain specialized technique stations in the play spaces where they will act as both mentors and yentas while you practice your new skills.
