From little things
Dec. 25th, 2025 08:14 amA few little projects to finish off the year.
Back in August I went to a workshop led by a local artist. His art involves embroidering with repurposed textiles, which he uses to express his queer identity. Honestly, as a workshop it was pretty rubbish. The artist gave a 10 minute rundown of his approach and then pretty much left us to it for the next few hours. More of a 'make and take' session than an actual workshop. The organiser did hire a photographer to take photos for a solid half hour though, and splashed the images all over their socials and local newspapers. It felt very performative, like the goal of the workshop was to rainbow-wash themselves rather than provide an actual experience to the people who paid to be there. So I'm really fucking salty about that.
I did finally finish my project through.
