The hiss of a blowtorch. The glow of steel heated to a cherry red. The momentary fear of wondering how it will feel.

The sudden touch of steel to flesh. The tension is released and the endorphins flare as the mark is made. The final result is a work of art. This is the body branding experience.

Elwood will be presenting a workshop on the art, safety, and aesthetics of body branding with a live branding demonstration.

Topics that will be covered will include a brief history of body branding, what designs work for a brand, the various methods of branding, temporary branding, things to never let someone do you to with branding, and the aftercare of a brand.

COME EARLY! This class will fill up fast!

Cutting (or Scarification) is one of those practices that both excites and terrifies people, sometimes at the same time. Historically, this ritual is one of the oldest

forms of body modification. In more recent times cutting has held a negative image. Most mentions of cutting have been books published on the psychology of cutting and how to stop this self-mutilation. But cutting as art?!? If done properly, cutting can create beautiful, permanent body decorations which leave you with positive memories of this incredible experience.

Elwood will be presenting a workshop on the history, psychology (cutting for the right and the wrong reasons and how to know the difference), safety, aesthetic and skills needed in doing cuttings. A live demonstration will be done to show the techniques and precautions required.
