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.

This month we're doing valentines. Make something thoughtful for a friend, or turn it into a date night and exchange your love notes at the end! Don't give Hallmark your money. We'll provide various crafting supplies and you'll have free creative reign. Whatever your vibe—classic, sappy, punny—you can make it totally unique to you.

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. 😛
