Join us at this unique, queer crafty workshop. All wool, pompom makers, attachments, and other intrinsic elements will be available to make a headpiece to be proud of!
Hélène Corr, your workshop facilitator, is a queer artist with many years of headdress making experience with a huge love of pompoms! We want this to be a relaxed, sociable occasion for everyone involved, so do feel free to bring snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic drinks only) if you would like to.
Tea & coffee are available for free.
Testimonials:
"I love the shear amount of stuff & knowledge you bring to these workshops. I've learned so much from you! I especially appreciate that it doesn't include complicated machinery or endless hours of sewing. In a few hours you can create something from start to finish, which is such a rewarding feeling and always makes me come out of your workshops with a bounce in my step." - Participant of Fix-Up, Look Sharp!
"Had SUCH a wonderful time. Really fun and productive" - Participant of Fix-Up, Look Sharp!
Hélène Corr:
’I have been running eclectic, fun, crafting, and fashion workshops at SMH and other venues since 2021. These have included headdress making, upcycling shoes, glasses, and clothes, No-Sew Kimono, mask making, jewellery and social crafty ‘make what you want’ workshops. I have run workshops at The Royal Festival hall for over 200 people as well as small group private parties.
I am currently one of two workshop leaders for SMH’s CrafterSchool - a weekly children’s after-school arts & crafts club. I also run a regular ‘Feeling Good’ Crafts workshop for the over 50s in Shoreditch.
I am always on the lookout for other opportunities to share my love of making and creating using fun resources and unusual techniques. I am trying to make my workshops as sustainable as possible using as much recycled materials as possible.’
