GWNN Bash 2025

Have you ever wanted to try something, but weren't sure how to negotiate it or knew a person to experiment with? This is the space for you. Come try the Exploratorium play spaces. Some of the Bash presenters are offering their skills in a limited exchange to show how some toys, implements and tools can be used or how they feel.

BASH Bingo!! Don't forget to get your bingo cards

Ball gags are great, but why stop there? The world of unconventional gags allows us to muffle, manipulate, and mess with mouths in unique, often improvised ways. In this class, we’ll explore how to deepen sensations of control, endurance, objectification, and whimsy—all while keeping safety a top priority. From everyday objects to DIY designs, we’ll brainstorm, build, and test unconventional gag ideas, discussing their pleasures and pitfalls along the way. You’ll leave class with a take-home gag of your own and plenty to chew on—perhaps literally.

This class will quickly dive into foundational rope bondage techniques. Then those techniques, along with demonstrations and class participation, will show how you can manipulate a partner's body, use each other's energy, and use a rope or two to journey together. That journey will depend on the person(s) tying and being tied, but this class will show you techniques and approaches to do so.

Bent leg ties—commonly known as futomomo—are versatile, functional, and often misunderstood. Rather than a strict pattern, futomomo simply refers to the position of the tied leg (literally meaning “fat leg” in Japanese). This class breaks down different ways to approach bent leg ties, exploring their use in both floor play and suspension, as well as how they can be adapted for different body types and scenarios.

Through hands-on practice, we’ll examine key considerations like tension, placement, and stability, while also experimenting with variations that open up new play possibilities. Whether you love the control and restriction of a tight futomomo or prefer looser, more dynamic ties, this class will give you the tools to refine and expand your approach.

Not just throwing whips but as a passion, what people think when you pull a whip out, psychology of using a whip and why, variable whip intensity of different throws, style and showmanship, when size matters (length/margin of air), how to Florentine

Looking for ties that are quick, effective, and adaptable for different types of play? This class focuses on fast, functional ties that you can use on the fly, whether in a scene or any playful scenario. We’ll explore simple yet secure techniques that prioritize ease and flow, helping you build confidence in tying efficiently without sacrificing control.

This is a hands-on class with a tie-along demo, so bring 2-4 lengths of rope and a cutting tool to follow along. Prior experience with single and double column ties is recommended, as we won’t be covering those basics in this class. Whether you're looking to speed things up, add spontaneity to your rope play, or just expand your toolkit, this class is all about making rope work for you—knot so fast, but just fast enough.

Love sharps but find yourself resistant to pretty patterns and meditative scenes? Wanna use stabby things to express your cute aggression? Ready to learn and share devious new uses for the pokey things already in your toy bag? Then this class is for you! Join us as we learn to craft scenes that feature sharps as tools of bondage, deprivation, body modification, fear, absurdity, and pain. We’ll walk through techniques, implements, and placements that safely prioritize carnal and creative suffering. Sharps experience not required but useful; wicked inventiveness useful but not required.

Rope is more than just knots—it’s a conversation. This class begins with interactive rope-handling drills designed to refine your movement, control, and connection. Through playful exercises with a partner, you’ll explore how variations in tension, speed, and intent shape the experience of tying.

Once we’ve warmed up, we’ll apply these concepts to a single rope tie, often called ichinawa (“one rope”) in Japanese. This simple yet powerful approach highlights how small choices in application can completely transform the energy and emotion of a scene. Whether you want to create comfort, control, anticipation, or challenge, this class will help you refine your skills and bring more intention into your rope practice.
