Folksy Festive decorations workshop

Create colourful and queer festive decorations focused on your ideas of queer joy around the holidays. Maybe you'll be inspired by time spent with your chosen families, activities with loved ones or new traditions?

Jude will provide a range of pre-prepared wooden decorations along with illustrative materials so that you can design and decorate your own beautiful folk art inspired festive decor. Celebrate your queer identity and what festive joy means to you! 

Materials provided.

Facilitator: Jude Allen (They/Them) is a Leeds based illustrator, designer and educator who is obsessed with the wacky, weird and whimsical. They love to capture queer joy and create community through their art - and at present they’re enjoying using their creative practice to explore how we use art to document the world around us!
