This month we focus on so-called "Florentine" flogging - using two similar floggers, one in each hand. This workshop teaches several two-handed techniques, including chases, butterfly, fanning, and three-beat weave. Double flogging greatly extends your repertoire and versatility.
This is a second-level flogging playshop. You'll get more out of it if you already have solid skills in one-handed flogging, and perhaps have tried two-handed. Good preparation is to try flogging with your "off" hand. During the presentation we will not repeat introductory flogging material. However, during the hands-on part, we'll work with each attendee at whatever is their current level. The class is aimed at intermediate and advanced players, but may be suitable for some relative beginners.
This is a hands-on playshop. Bring floggers if you have them, but you don’t need to bring anything. Flogging practice equipment will be available if you don’t have your own. You may also bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. You might also want to bring a pillow.
The evening has four parts (times approximate): 7 – 7:30 Brown Bag Munch 7:30 – 8:00 Presentation and Demos 8:00 - 9:30 Guided Hands-on Double Flogging practice 9:30 - 10:30 Open practice.
Paideia (“pie DAY ah”) is a Greek word meaning “learning through play”. Paideia evenings are more than regular workshops. First we socialize. You may bring your dinner or snacks to eat during the munch period. Then we see demos. Then we do the guided hands-on workshop. You’ll mainly work in pairs learning and refining your skills. Then during the open practice period, you may integrate your new skills with other play techniques. Or you may do more practice, or watch the variety of techniques that others practice.
Partners: You can practice solo, e.g. on a pillow, or in pairs. It’s better to prearrange a lab partner, rather than try to pair up during the munch period. If you want to find a suitable partner in advance, we recommend you join and post on http://edukink.tribe.net
Reservations not required. Membership not required. You don't need to wear anything special. The event is open to anyone 18 years and older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink. All roles, genders, and orientations welcome.

“Double the fun: Florentine Flogging” is part of the Paideia series of monthly BDSM/leather events / playshops mainly for those of intermediate or advanced experience. The format intends to combine the best elements of hands-on workshops, a munch, a play party, and a peer workshop. More than a dozen topics are covered in these playshops, on both common and exotic topics. We have a core study group who increase the depth and breadth of their play each month, as well as have fun together.
