USA – CLEVELAND – Spring is in the air in Cleveland, and that means another long weekend of fun at CLAW (Cleveland Leather Awareness Week), the annual convention for leather and fetish fans. The event is run each year in early April by CLAW Corp, a national leather charity that promotes adult interest in leather, fetish, and BDSM activities. CLAW teaches that these kinks are natural and healthy — and promotes attendees learning from each other.
One of the big differences between other leather events and CLAW is that there’s no contest/competition here, so you won’t find people working to achieve titles like “Mr. CLAW.” Fans of CLAW point to this as one of their favorite parts of the event, because it keeps the focus on networking, planned group events, and educational sessions.
