Playing with sex toys, BDSM equipment, and costumes are fun ways to explore pleasure. But what if you could customize your own toys, or even create something new?

Teasecraft is a meetup group for folks who are interested in crafting, creating, and modifying all kinds of sex/kink toys and gear.

If you've never made a toy, come get inspired! Already made something cool? Bring it and show it off! Stuck on a crafting problem? This is the place to ask your questions and get advice. Teasecraft facilitates face-to-face conversation for showing off projects, sharing stories, and meeting new collaborators.

Our usual format is a short lecture on a relevant topic, show and tell, and then open questions and hangout time.

We get folks who've worked with silicone, electronics, fiber arts, wood, metal (including jewelry and chainmail), leather, software, erotica, photography and more on scales ranging from "I made this one toy" to "This is my full-time job". All are welcome, regardless of your (a)sexuality/orientation/gender or what materials you work with, but we do not admit minors.

We think play parties and speed dating are great, but that's not what these meetups are.
We usually request donations to cover overhead, but no one turned away for lack of funds

Just one group? Hey, we've got to start somewhere. Speaking of which...
