About this Event
Express Yourself with Make Up - Young Queer Craft Club
Come join us in person for a fun and creative session where you can express yourself through makeup.
What we're doing
Join Ava from as we explore ways that we can express ourselves using make up and face paint.
You'll look through different make up styles to find your inspirations, then create your own face chart to plan your design. Then you'll start to create your face design.
Ava will give you plenty of hints and tips to help your creative and expressive self shine.
We'll also have studio lights and a backdrop available for anyone who wants to take a portrait photo of their work.
We'll supply
- All materials and tuition
- Hot/cold drinks and tasty snacks
- Pronoun badges
If you would like to bring your own makeup and kit, please do.
We'll ask about any allergies when you book your ticket, but feel free to bring your own kit if you feel more comfortable doing so.
Remember to bring a phone or camera if you want to take pictures of your work!
Whether you're a pro or just curious, this club is all about exploring identity, style, and fabulousness. Bring your vibe, your ideas, and let's get colorful together!
About Young Queer Craft Club

It's a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for LGBTQIA+ young people, run by experienced, compassionate youth workers.
What you can expect at a session
We'll explore a variety of arts and crafts such as pottery, badge-making, make-up, photography, zine-making and much more. You'll be able to help us decide what to try next too.
So if you want to get creative and crafty, this is the place for you - whether you're a first time dabbler or an experienced maker.
Sessions will be led by a guest artist. You can join in or bring your own project to work on. There will be a friendly youth worker at every session to support you, so feel free to chat to them whenever you need.

The event space is up a single flight of 14 steps then you go around the corner and there are two small steps. Once you’re upstairs there’s a loo. You shouldn’t need to come downstairs for anything until the end of the activity.
