Time to Go Hell for Leather for Inquisition Week

Saddle up, as there is plenty to do for the Sydney Leather Pride Inquisition Week Events. There's a diverse range of workshops, dinners and parties happening during Inquisition Week.

Leather Care - Sunday, August 9, 3.30pm - 5:30pm
Leathers can be perceived as objects of worship, as the focus of lust, or simply as functional clothing. However you perceive them, one thing is for sure: you want them to last. Former Leather Person of the Year, Jo King – one of the most respected producers of leatherwear in Sydney – shows us all the tricks of the trade in this workshop on caring for your leathers.
Cost: $25 General, $20 SLPA & Kindred

DIY Kink - Sunday, August 9, 3.30pm - 5:30pm
Take a bag of oddments, a few hours of guidance and learn how to craft a set of toys ready for play. Participants are provided with all materials, you will be guided in how to assemble the items and you get to walk away with a new set of toys to try out on your playpals. These are all simple projects, so if you're a DIY novice have no fear! With smooth instruction from Ms Sometimes, a few giggles, and time for a cuppa, learn a set of skills that will defeat the need to ever import toys again. Bring nimble fingers and a sense of fun, and go home with some fabulous new toys! Please arrive on time so we may complete all the tasks together.
Cost: $25 General, $20 SLPA & Kindred
