This workshop is open ONLY to attendees of Beginning Needles: Parts 1-3! If you missed Parts 1-3, you’ll have to wait for this series to come back around again! Returning students: please register here to make checking in at the door quick and easy! Thank you!

In this class we will be exploring some of the more intense levels of pokies. We will discuss needle placement for very sensitive parts of the body, medical staples, small hooks, and how the process for needle suspension works. Prior registered class members will get a shopping list. Not all divine beings in this class will wish to participate or engage in every activity, and that’s perfectly fine. Knowing your boundaries is hot! There will be home work given for your ‘final’ in class 5.

Miz Tee (she/her) is an easily amused, sensual sadist who loves to inflict pain on eager victims, while reveling in play and energetic interactions. Active in kink since 1989, she lives fully immersed in her Leather values as the matriarch of her Leather family. Miz Tee loves teaching, giving tastings and serving her community. Occupying roles as a vendor coordinator, volunteer coordinator, DM, she has spent over 40 years honing her many skills & is committed to a lifestyle of learning & positive personal growth. Her toy boxes are bursting at the seams, but her favorite scenes include whips, canes and/or sharps. Her commitment to safety, mischievous sadism, and loving appreciation of her play partners delight both participants and onlookers.

Miz Tee is proud to hold the 2018 Community Choice Award and the title of Ms. Oregon State Leather 2019-2020. Before serving on the board of the Portland Leather Alliance (PLA) again, she has also served her community on two other boards, using her ‘dedication to education’ to help improve her community. As part of the PLA, she heads the education team, combining her experience & knowledge with the many talents of a diverse and supportive group. Miz Tee has presented in multiple states and venues, offering a wide array of knowledge to all who seek it, and spreading her unique blend of sadism and southern charm.
