Latex 101

with Dolly Diatima

a live and recorded online class from Wicked Grounds

1/25 2pm Pacific

Latex is more than just a material. It’s a cultural artifact with its own history, chemistry, and rituals of care.

In this class we will explore the essentials of latex care so your garments can say supple and shiny! We’ll cover everything from the basics of shining and daily care to the essentials of repairing small tears before they become big heartbreaks. We’ll learn about chlorination and when it’s useful and necessary and by the end of the class you will be able to care for your gear with confidence. Towards the end of class we will discuss some fun scene ideas to do with your gear.

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and leave empowered!
