About this Event


Make meaningful connections through group crafting!

The Cut Loose Collage Workshop lets you make, mingle, and sharpen your creative skills.

Research shows that engaging in hands-on creative activities not only enhances workplace problem-solving and collaboration (Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology), but also delivers a measurable boost to personal happiness and life satisfaction (Frontiers in Public Health).

About Craft & Connect

Goal: Offer a fun, effective, and memorable networking opportunity for LGBTQ+ professionals and allies that doesn’t center around drinking. 

Workshop structure: Make mixed media artwork on your own or collaborate with others! Follow a simple collage/mixed media formula and experiment on your own, with guidance from long-time collage artist and founder of Cut Loose Collage Workshops. We’ll end the event with a pressure-free art show.

Vibe: Relaxed. Leave all perfectionism at the door. Experimentation encouraged. Plenty of time to make and mingle. 

Come as you are: No experience required. All materials provided. Light refreshments and sober sips available. 

Outcomes: Make meaningful and memorable connections. A sense of accomplishment for proving to yourself that you are creative. Handmade artwork to keep or gift. Inspiration to include more craft and connect experiences in your life.
