Chain Bondage for Beginners

with CTW and Fischer Garrett

a live and recorded online class from Wicked Grounds

12/8 6pm Pacific

You may attend live or watch the recording within seven days of the event. Advanced ticketing required through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

And RSVP on FetLife to let friends know you're coming.

Chains are a kink staple that evoke images of dungeons and being trapped, feelings of cold and hard restraint, and power and control. This class is a discussion of risks and safety using chains for bondage, a demonstration of various metal connectors, and how to maintain tension and make single columns using chain with labbing time after each demonstration. Great for self- and partnered-bondage participants and absolute beginners! Participants are welcome to bring their own chain; the presenters will have plastic chain available to borrow to practice with during the workshop.

If you wish to purchase your own starter chain kit ahead of time, the presenters recommend two 6-feet lengths of 1/4-inch proof coil zinc-plated chain and four to six 1/4-inch stainless steel screw-pin anchor shackles.

PRESENTERS:

Cecilia T. Winters ('CTW' - She/Her) is your typical queer Millennial. Born at the start of the internet age, she has always benefited from information at her fingertips. She identifies as bisexual and ethically non-monogamous. She has served as a dungeon and playspace monitor, a demo top for a number of local and national kink events, and as a presenter. Her non-kink interests include reading, making lists, watching early 2000s crime dramas, and learning about ancient human cultures.

Fischer Garrett ('Mister' - He/Him) is a bisexual, polyamorous top. His time spent in the lifestyle has led him through a journey of self discovery, from once being totally monogamous to being a relationship anarchist; from wanting nothing to do with bondage to developing a way to practice bondage in a relatively unperformed and under-documented fashion. In the past several years he has volunteered for larger kink events as a member of a consent incident response team, a dungeon/playspace monitor, and recently as a presenter. He is a huge fan of costumes and masks, and it is not unusual to know that he is around but often in clever and sometimes strange disguises.

Together they are coauthors of the first book on chain bondage, The Art of Chain: A Guide to Steel Restraint (Mystic Productions, 2022). www.theartofchain.com
