Description of Event: Bootblack Workshop


I don't know about you but my leathers are dusty 'cuz they have been neglected in the closet for the past couple of years thanks to COVID cancelling the events and restricting our social encounters.



From the presenter: Taking care of leathers can be a simple task, a service, or an erotic exchange of energy. For some it is a fetish for a type of boot, an act of community service, or an expression of service to a select few people. The individuals that take on the identity of being someone that cares for leathers and boots are often called bootblacks.


This class will be an introduction to the basics of taking care of high shine and oil tan boots and leather garments with some discussion on how it can be used in different contexts.


If you would like to participate with your own supplies here’s a small list to get you started:

- Glycerin soap or saddle soap: as pure glycerin as possible. As far as I know Neutrogena is still ok to use

- Horse/boar hair shaving brush or horsehair dauber brush for soap

- Spray bottle of water

- Microfiber or terry cloth towels

- Hard wax polish

- Lint-free cut up t-shirts

- Leather conditioner: Huberds (shoe oil or shoe grease), Obenaufs, Fiebings Aussie, Chelsea Leather


Optional:

- Creme polish

- Toothbrush

- Horse hair buffing brush

- Gloves

- Q-tips

- nylons


Bio: Bootpup Rune (he/they) is a leatherboy switch who started his kink and leather journey in 2017. He has a love for connecting with others through education and bringing visibility to marginalized communities.


He is currently volunteering on the Board of Club X and is active in several other groups including San-PAH, an ageplay group, and a power exchange group.


As a bonus for reading this far (Congrats!) Scott will offer photography of you in your freshly cleaned and polished leather gear. 



It's also a potluck so break out your best entrée or appetizer to share with the group. We will provide soda/pop/soft drinks, chips and salsa and queso.

Bring a couple of towels! You'll need one to sit on and one to dry off after you brave the unheated waters of the pool.

If you have questions about the event, please reach out and we will do our best to answer them.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing and socializing with our Brothers once again!
