Crafty Kinksters

Crafty Kinksters is a monthly event (fourth Sunday of the month) to get creative with fellow kinksters.

Bring your ideas, your supplies, and your artistic skills. The Ember Society is a shared space that welcomes all shapes and flavors of ideas.

Some months, we will host CK Community Nights. Just a bunch of weirdos, bringing their own materials, supplies, and projects to work on in community. Good tunes, great vibes, and limitless possibilities. For CK Community Nights, we ask for a $10 donation (tax-deductible, to the Ember Society) to help us keep the lights on.

Other months, we’ll host a Special Project Night, where we will provide materials and instruction for a specific kink-related craft project/item. A community member will teach a specific kink-related project, including a variety of techniques or strategies to personalize your item. The cost of class will include the required materials and related tools/equipment for the project as well as a contribution to the Ember Society for access to the space. You are welcome to bring other materials, supplies, or tools if you want to add some personal flair to your piece.

If you have your own idea about a project you’d like to teach at the Ember Society, or other ways you’d like to get involved, check out our website and sign up to Volunteer or click on Contact Us to shoot us a message.

About Calypso: Calypso (they/them) has been involved with kink for 16 years (in Chicago and San Diego). A switchy switch that's experienced with impact and sensation play, shibari, needles, electric play, and a variety of other mediums. They have provided impact and sensory tastings with Pick Your Poison and Topping for Impact at The Leather Realm as well as been a DM at several groups over the years. More recently, they have begun to embrace their role as a community elder and leaned more into community involvement and teaching. Calypso especially enjoys being a safe bridge for folks that are newly exploring their kink identities in safe and liberating ways. They are a true experimentalist and enjoy seeing the full range of what each playmate and each scene will bring out.
