SUMMARY:Leather Care 101 and Bootblacking Basics with nocturneBlue
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \n\nClass Description\nBring your leathers and saddle soap! Or don’t! Leather care 101 is a class for folks looking to maintain their current leathers or learn a little for future leather adventures. Every leather enthusiast has their routine and preferences for leather care. As such\, this class will not be the ultimate guide on leather care\, but suggestions from one enthusiast with a few years of experimentation. \nIf you have a pair of boots or a harness that’s been begging you to condition it\, this is your opportunity to get a second opinion and work on your leathers in a class setting. This class will be a short lecture\, followed by a workshop for folks to mess about with their leathers and ask questions. Some basic leather care supplies will be available\, but supplies are limited. There will also be a small selection of leather goods provided by Blue for folks to clean if they don’t have any leathers themselves. \nBy the end of this class\, participants will have an understanding of the function and use of leather care supplies (soaps\, conditioners\, oils\, brushes\, polish\, miscellaneous supplies). Participants will know the difference in some types of leather and their care needs. Finally\, participants will have time to clean their leathers (optional) with time to ask questions about their specific leathers. \nAttendee supplies- OPTIONAL\, presenter will supply limited extras. \n\nLeathers (cuffs\, boots\, any gear you want to clean).\nLeather care supplies\nThis is a class designed for beginners\, but is open to all levels of experience.\n\nPresenter Bio\nnocturneBlue (they/them) is a queer leather worker and part time dog out of the DMV with a passion for leather care. They’ve participated in the DMV scene since 2023 and seek to share their perspective as a leather worker from a non-kink background. As a chronic horse-girl\, Blue has been cleaning and maintaining leathers for over a decade. Owner of Nocturne Blue Leather\, they are passionate about making high quality leathers for all folks. Their favorite color is blue and they like leather. \n\nTo minimize disruption\, there will be no admittance after 8:30. \nThis is not a play party. Do not attempt to engage in scenes or solicit others for play\, except for labbing as part of a workshop-style class. \nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \nAll ticket sales are at the door. \nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@br.org
