Rochester Kink Society (RKS)
RKS is a social organization dedicated to providing a means for BDSM and kink-oriented individuals to network, teach, learn, share, practice and discuss BDSM and related kink. We host regular parties in our facility, a premier dungeon in upstate New York. During parties, we have dungeon monitors staffing the dungeon to ensure play is safe, sane, and consensual.

They are a pansexual organization and do not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, or fetish. Members and guests (18+) are expected to attend RKS functions with an open mind and mutual respect. Previous guests and members of other BDSM groups should RSVP by March 27. Non-members may stop by our vendor table to learn more and to be approved for party attendance. $15/person (special price - show REAF wristband)
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.

Chainmaille Jewelry by Lady Lin
Chainmaille jewelry has appealed to me ever since I was gifted with my first piece. The interconnection of the rings was just fascinating. It led me to the internet, investigating weaves and designs by other talented artists. My preference is to add that special touch with glass beads, crystals, charms and pendants. I work with silver plated copper & brass rings as well as base metal rings, giving my pieces an everyday-wear jewelry appearance. I feel such satisfaction once the pieces are finished and wish to share that feeling with you all.
Wulfe Tails
Wulfe Tail Whips is focused on providing hand crafted custom pieces of exceptional quality. All of our pieces are made by master crafter Erich. From floggers to single tail whips to dragon's tails to specialty designed custom pieces, all are made with your pleasure (or pain) in mind.
We look forward to making you a toy that you will go to again and again and give you & your partner(s) years of joy.
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 lose 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.
Naturist Rochester
This nude swim club offers family friendly, clothing free recreation. Naturist Rochester is affiliated with 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.
