FAQs
- 1. Do I have to be arty to join?
Woah, you might love the idea of hanging out with like-minded queer folk, but hang on. You’re not arty…. right?
Don’t worry. It’s like a paint and sip – where our expert facilitators will guide you through each activity with prompts and step by step instructions.
These groups are not about creative perfection – it’s about connection.
You’ve got nothing to lose by coming and hanging out with us.
- 2. What do I need to bring?
For structured workshops, you don't need to bring anything. We do recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting messy. Even with smocks and clean up gear, accidents sometimes happen.
For our creative drop ins, bring a creative or crafty project, a sketchbook or whatever you like to join and work on while we connect.
Don't have a project to bring? We'll have pencils, paper and some basic materials on hand. - 3. What does it cost? And can I just come to one? Or do I have to join them all?
Accessibility is so important to us. For this reason, we’ve tried to keep costs small for these meetup.
If you’re in a pinch and can’t afford to come along – please let us know by emailing pres@assortedgrains.org.au. We don’t want anyone to miss out.
Got your eye on one of the workshops – but don’t like another? That’s fine. Join us for just one or all of the workshops, but don’t forget to get your ticket to save your seat.

Yes! We’ll always choose a location with accessible car parking and facilities available. If you have another specific requirement to join let us know.
