This craft circle will explore themes related gender and sexuality through simple handicrafts, giving each other permission to experiment, go out on a limb, and get messy! Do you want to try out a new name or pronouns? A daring new look you’re nervous to debut? You’ve come to the right place. All are welcome, not only those who identify as queer. Bring your questioning, your certainties, and most importantly, your own pair of scissors! No experience necessary.

To mark the new year, we'll be making vision boards. Armed with magazines and modge-podge, let's envision what it might feel like to feel more at home in our bodies in 2025. Is this a year for long-awaited gender affirming care? More satisfying sex? The society-wide dismantling of the cisheteropatriarchy? Manifest it, babe!

Group facilitator Esme is a professional anarchist and an amateur crafter. They love creating intimate containers for community members to connect at Firestorm. Drawing from their experiences participating in art therapy, the process of creating—rather than the final product—will be the emphasis of the crafts she chooses. 

The organizer of this event marked it kid-friendly. 😛
