Queer Crafternoon With Zesty's Collective

What should participants expect?

​Join us for a relaxed and informal afternoon of creativity and community.

​Whether you consider yourself to have no artistic talent, are a budding artist or just dabble in crafts every so often, you are very welcome to join. We will be creating on our own and with each other in a calm atmosphere. You are welcome to come for as little or as long as you like.

​Who is this event for?

​Any people of LGBTQIA+ or questioning identities aged 16 + are welcome to join us! Safe spaces code of conduct will be in place.

​We recognise that you might need different things from this event, be it creating connections and hearing about others experiences, having a chance to reflect on your own queer experiences and needs, or simply have protected space to craft and use your hands. Whichever one it is, we hope you join us and find it.

​Who are Zesty’s Collective?

​We're a group of Nottingham based LGBTQIA+ people wanting to explore alternative events which hold queerness at the heart, away from noise, substances, need for spending or nightlife. We previously hosted workshops 'Building Queerville' at Nottingham Contemporary, Green Hustle and more - you can find our a little bit more about these via our @ZestysCollective Instagram.

​This event is taking place as part of The January Challenge 2024.

​What is The January Challenge?

​Our January events celebrate 64 Million Artists's January Challenge. 31 creative prompts over 31 days, each designed by different people and communities across the UK - this series of challenges is open to anyone to get involved in.

​At each of our crafternoons, we'll be taking inspiration from the January Challenge, focusing on a handful of the creative prompts relevant to our community, the space we're in and the materials we have. We've been fortunate enough to be able to set one of these challenges too which will feature in all the crafternoons!
