About this Event

Hang out with fellow adults who identify under the queer and trans (LGBTQIA+) umbrella, enjoy yummy snacks and a chilled craft session!

You can work on this month's project or bring your own. We'll explore a variety of arts and crafts such as sewing, soft toy making, crochet, knitting, ceramics, drawing, photography, embroidery, zine-making and much more! You'll be able to help us decide what to try next.

So if you want to get crafty, this is the place for you, whether you're a first time dabbler or an experienced maker.



About the sessions

Sessions will be led by our lovely host Teddy Bear Josh (They/He) or by a visiting artist. You can join in or bring your own portable project to work on.
