On The Edge: Chips and Whips Class + Play Party @ The Studio (10 min SW of Downtown Chicago)
Jun 21 @ 1:00 AM – 7:00 AM

On The Edge, presents “Chips and Whips” an introduction to single tail whips, buggy whips and fun with food.

WHIPS: This seminar/playtime event will feature instruction and care of your whip. We will talk about the detailed differences in whips, length, type of leather, what the end of the whips are for etc. We will be instructing how to safely use them in BDSM scenes, we will not be doing any whip tricks or sideshow instruction.
CHIPS: Not California Highway Patrol (I know some of you children of the 80s were thinking oooh I get to be Ponch!), but actual food. We will be having all different sorts of potato chips and dips. We will also be making human chip bowls and human dip bowls, this gives double dipping a whole new meaning.

We will be playing games with chips, dips and whips in order to become familiar with the use of the single tails (Whip the Chip will be one game, guess where we put the chip?).

Bring a friend, bring a whip and please bring chips/or dip.

Class will conclude with open playtime at The Studio.
