Learn Erotic Macramé in Las Vegas

Leave your momma at home.  This Las Vegas macramé class on Sunday is definitely not for the faint of heart or those that want to learn  to craft a mere plant holder.  

No, in this class participants will learn how to make chest harnesses, rope corsets, crotch ropes and even rump bindings.  We kid you not. 

The higher learning class will be led by Lee Harrington, who has been tied to the BDSM community for more than 14 years, and has written books on the role of ropes in bondage play. 

Submissive students will learn the erotic knotty art in pairs, and must provide their own rope. 

Rest assured, what you learn here won’t come undone- no matter how much or how loud you moan. 

The class will be held this Sunday, March 7, 12:30 p.m., at the Erotic Heritage Museum, 3275 Industrial Road, 702-369-6441; $25 ($20 in advance).
