There are a plethora of stories and warnings about not playing with sharp objects; however, some of us live for the thrills and giggles 😉 Let’s explore what Sharps Play is about.
Curious about tools that touch, pierce, and trace across the body with care? This 4-hour in-person workshop invites you to explore the art of sharp sensations through safety, skill, and play. Guided by a collaborative team of experienced facilitators, you’ll learn how to choose and handle your instruments with confidence, follow best practices for health and hygiene, and create supportive spaces for exploration.
This space is for those who wish to learn about or refresh their skills for sharps play. There will be three different practices – staples, needles and knives. Expect live demonstrations, hands-on practice, and plenty of shared tips and tricks. This session blends curiosity with intention — empowering you to approach intensity with knowledge, respect, and a playful spirit.
Caritia will be joined by a wonderful motley crew of collaborators who love these practices – AJ, Chris and Casey.
Note: Trigger warning! There will be blood. Knives, staples, and needles will be in this space. No one has to do all the practices; however, we ask that you respect the space that is being created. Materials will be available for folks to practice and try out. You must bring your own knife for this workshop and practice.
Additional Information: There will be a sharps-jam from 7-11 pm. Only those with previous experience or who have attended this workshop may attend.
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describe people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender-straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
