Do you lay in bed on cold Thursday mornings and think “I would love to have a galaxy of my own. To have, to hold, to stare at with the ones I love on a rainy night”? Well this class will show you how to create that galaxy you so long for and dream of.

We will practice the art of DIY stencilling, using some very common objects and some substances you may not expect, to create a deep cosmic centrepiece like the image featured in this ad.

All we need is the imagination inside our lovely brains, watercolour paint, and the madness of the method.
We hope to see your mysterious galaxy come to life!

This event will be half social chats with a bunch of like minded queer people and half fun, educational and interactive workshop.

All workshops are taught by queers, for queers.
