About This Event

Join Queer Craft Club for a fun evening at Aunty Social in Blackpool on August 19th. The event features a sock puppet workshop led by performers from various backgrounds, all welcoming LGBTQ+ participants. Participants can expect to create their own puppets and enjoy engaging with loveable characters like Teddy Bear Josh, who will guide the crafting session for £5.00.

Join our welcoming session with the lovey Teddy Bear Josh, as they lead you in a crafting workshop

Hang out with fellow adults who identify under the queer and trans (LGBTQIA+) umbrella, enjoy yummy snacks and a chilled craft session!

You can work on this month’s project or bring your own. We’ll explore a variety of arts and crafts such as sewing, soft toy making, crochet, knitting, ceramics, drawing, photography, embroidery, zine-making and much more! You’ll be able to help us decide what to try next.

So if you want to get crafty, this is the place for you, whether you’re a first time dabbler or an experienced maker.

About the sessions

Sessions will be led by our lovely host Teddy Bear Josh (They/He) or by a visiting artist. You can join in or bring your own portable project to work on.

What we’re making – August

Take your imagination to the limit by making your own personal sock puppet friend. Learn basic puppetry techniques with no sewing skills required. Googly eyes and being silly is a must!

Suitable for: Adults 18+

This session is in our upstairs workshop space. We have a lift! Otherwise it is fourteen steps turn a corner and two more steps. There is an accessible loo on the same floor.
