Join us for a brand new course where you will learn to create your own multi-media portrait! 

Term Dates: Thursday evenings between 21st April - 18th
Course Passes for 5 Week Half-Term Available Now! 
Booking for individual classes available from 11th April.

During this course, you will develop your painting, collage, and sewing skills. You will work with new materials to create beautiful portraits and images reflective of your personal history. 

Specifically, we will be exploring the concept of ‘Queer Bodies’ throughout this course, examining changes in our personal appearance, transitional change, confidence, and age through collaging. 

Class teacher Maya will be encouraging participants to bring collections of their own photos for this case; however, this is not compulsory if you are uncomfortable with this. 

You do not have to be queer to attend these workshops, just comfortable discussing ideas of changing bodies and our relationships to physical appearance.

This class is taught by Maya! Maya is a multi-disciplinary artist working across visual arts and drag. As a drag artist (King Butch) they are known for their work with Haus of Lynx and Cum to the Cabaret, which is an original queer-only night of burlesque, club singing and drag based in Leeds.
