What the Fork? Dining Decorum Demystified by Master Velvet

Friday, June 12 · 2:15 PM–3:30 PM
GA 2 · Workshop/Class

For many of us the phrase “formal dining” conjures up conflicted memories of uncomfortable clothes, unwanted questions from nosey relatives, and dining rules both rigid and arbitrary. In reality, the etiquette and expectations of formal dining are intended to provide a structure wherein everyone knows the rules so they can easily share space on an equal footing. When done properly and with care, formal dining creates the sort of inclusive space that reflects the values of the Leather community. Whether your affair is blindly vanilla or a bacchanalian soiree, check your white gloves at the door as Master Velvet demystifies formal dining. Attendees will be freed from worry about which fork to use, how to fold their napkin, and the fine art of pleasant conversation.

SELF is incredibly grateful to our sponsors who make magic possible.
