APHC Workshops 2026

Are you getting ready to wrap up APHC at Kennel Club X? Then join WAAC at Perth Steam Works for a free information session designed to help you navigate the space with confidence, while looking after your health and safety.

Shane from WAAC will be in to do a VERY informative session on everything there is to know about attending a sauna!

🐶 Understanding sauna etiquette and expectations  

🐶 Safer sex practices and STI prevention  

🐶 Consent, boundaries, and respectful interactions  

🐶 How to understand non-verbal cues

Whether you're a first-timer or a regular to sex parties and saunas, this event is an opportunity to ask questions, get expert advice, and connect with community members in a welcoming and judgment-free environment.

Hien (pronounced like Ian with an H) is a digital artist documenting Perth’s contemporary queer culture with his auto-bio sex-education comics. He is a dedicated member and regular volunteer for Bears Perth, WA-PAH, and West Oz Leather. His intimate Shibari performances have enticed crowds at kinky socials, and moved audiences at Mr. Bear Perth Competitions. Hien strives to find ways to incorporate ropes into his outfits, and learning as many quick-release knots as he can.

What makes a good handler? It’s not the lead, the commands, or the gear it’s what you do with the human at the other end of it. Join Kitty Katastrophy for a practical, playful dive into her H.A.N.D.L.E. Framework: Hold Space, Advocate, Nurture, Direct, Listen and Evaluate. Drawing on years of pet play, handling and kink community experience, Kitty will unpack the skills behind good handling, from reading behaviour and body language to boundaries, advocacy, discipline and knowing when your pet needs you to step in. Expect practical tools, real stories and a few hard truths about what it actually means to handle another human.

Ready to turn the electricity up? Join Runestaff aka Pup Daymoon for an interactive introduction to electro play, where curiosity, connection and a little bit of controlled chaos come together.

Using his S.P.A.R.K. framework, Runestaff will take you through the essentials of electro play in a way that’s practical, playful and hands-on. Expect demonstrations, discussion, plenty of opportunities to get involved, and the chance to explore what makes electro play so damn fascinating.

Come curious, leave sparking!
