Queer Social Moorabbin: Cheeky Clay Ornaments with Maddy

Come and explore the hands-on fun of pottery and clay modelling!

In this workshop we'll work with embossing sheets and elements to create fun textures in our ornaments. We'll also have golden and silver foil, lettering, ribbons... we'll also have a huge amount of cheeky fun quotes and ideas!

Join us and make a customised festive ornament for yourself or a loved one.

This event will be half social chats with a bunch of like minded queer people and half fun, educational and interactive workshop.

All workshops are taught by queers, for queers.
