White Horse Studio: Figurative Art by Deb Mackie
Deb Mackie creates one-of-a-kind art dolls and character figures in 1:12 scale (1 inch equals a foot). Her subjects range from sublime Fairies and Mermaids, to sexy Cowboys and stern Dominatrices. You'll also find Geishas, Bikers, Pirates, Vampires, Rednecks and even properly kilted Scotsmen (and yes, you may look under their kilts...). Each figure is hand-sculpted of professional-grade polymer clay, meticulously blushed and hand painted, and then crowned with English viscose fiber or Tibetan Mohair. Their costumes are designed and hand made by the artist using exquisite silks, brocades, leather, sterling silver, crystals and myriad other fine materials. Most figures stand 5 - 6 inches tall, and take 20 - 40 hours to complete. Although she may repeat a character, no two are ever the same — each is a unique work of art. Portrait commissions are welcomed and can be made from photographs. Bring your own or have her shoot you in (or out of) your gear at the show.
Naturist Rochester
This nude swim club offers family friendly, clothing free recreation. Naturist Rochester is affiliated with The Naturist Society (TNS) and the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR). Cold weather activities include open houses, parties, and "Swim & Gym" nights at the Harro East. In warm weather, Rochester Naturists regularly use the beaches and campgrounds of Western New York and nearby areas. Naturist Rochester, in cooperation with Empire Haven Nudist Park, sponsors the Northeast Naturist Festival in August. They are also a politically conscious organization, having been active in the fight to allow public breast feeding in New York and the struggle for women to enjoy equal rights with men to be top-free on beaches, in parks and other appropriate locations.

Body Casting
Cast your lover into a sexy sculpture! You can actually plaster cast that special someone into a unique, personal, sexy work of art using Clay Holmes' Body Casting Kit. The finished sculpture easily hangs on a wall. In fact, with the wall mount bracket provided in the kit, your sculpture appears to float out from the wall... very cool! It's easy, exciting and as much fun as you want to make of it.
Clay Holmes will also be available throughout the festival to sculpt your Body Cast for you (privacy booth available if desired).
Atraw Ceramics
Ceramic sex toys are works of art that both excite and arouse. These silky smooth, hygenic sex toys are so durable they will last a lifetime, since they won't deteriorate and they are non-porous. Other sex toys may loose their novelty over the years but ceramic sex toys will stay beautiful for a lifetime. Pieces of art, they may even be used as display items! Hand sculpted dildos, g-spot, buttplugs, and four types of hand sculpted tobacco pipes.
John Warta learned sculpting as a child from his grandmother, when she came to visit from Europe. He has been sculpting for over thirty years.

Reyen Design Studios
Elemental colors, the juxtaposition of airy transparency and earthy texture reminiscent of the subtle growth of lichens, are the stuff that becomes the graceful, sensual clothing that are the creations of Reyen Design Studios.
Silkcloqué© is what we call our unusual fabric, cloqué being a French word describing the textural appearance of blistered paint, whereas in textiles it refers to working two disparate fabrics together in a way that makes them crinkle or bubble.
We achieve this look by felting Merino wool into hand dyed silk fabric. The result is an exceptionally unique 3-dimentional fabric. Sometimes formfitting like fine garment leather, sometimes the transparent gossamer of a dragonfly wing. It is soft with excellent draping abilities, yet has non-woven sculptural qualities that allow it to be shaped around and hold a form. These traits lend both fabric and fashions a distinctly organic look of having been grown rather than made.

Toronto Bodypainting
A Technical Illustrator by profession, Billy spent many years in the corporate world where his
work was nationally recognized. Billy first began bodypainting about twenty years ago and has never looked back. He's met many wonderful people and enjoys the feeling of satisfaction seeing the transformation that takes place in people when they are painted. "It's like a mask they wear, becoming someone else for a few hours. Shy people often become uninhibited wearing their new painted designs....there's almost a strut in their walk. I've seen victims of breast cancer shed tears of joy after being painted, so proud of themselves for being courageous
and proudly overcoming their fears regarding their body image.....what could be more satisfying".
We use only the best quality paint and materials. Our water-based liquid body makeup is non-toxic, FDA approved, and made specifically for application on human skin.
