A Facility for Fluid Sharers
A sexual desires / paper marbling workshop with Chloe Cooper
18 +
Because it’s about sex, the content of the workshop will be sexually explicit.
A Facility for Fluid Sharers is an opportunity to practice making choices together within the context of sexual relationships.
It asks participants to consider which fluids they’d like to give and which they’d like to receive via the medium of paper marbling.
The workshop lasts for approximately 90 minutes and is for a maximum of 8 participants. Each participant is assigned a mucous membrane (marbling tank) and partner with which to negotiate which fluids (appropriately coloured gouache-paint-and-water-mix) to share on each other’s mucous membranes. Participants then decide how each fluid should be dispensed by experimenting with a selection of devices. Once fluids are dispensed, there is an opportunity to “get creative” using a range of hand-cast silicone tools including the “Studded Stroker”, “Three-Toed Tickler” and “Ribbed Rake”. Once both partners are satisfied, paper is placed onto the surface of their mucous membranes to make a print of their fluid sharing.
The partnerships are purely conversation-based and although body parts are alluded to, no touching takes place as part of the workshop. The choices made in the workshop are of an intimate nature and so participants are reminded to only share what they feel comfortable sharing and that they can step out at any time. A script can be provided to anyone who wants to check what might happen beforehand - please contact Chloe on chloe_jam@yahoo.co.uk and she will email it over.
A Facility for Fluid Sharers has been informed by Chloe's work with Bedfellows - a group of people who made tools together to re-educate each other about sex.
