About this Event
About the workshop
Join us for this trans wellbeing workshop exploring gender affirming words, delivered by G(end)er Swap in collaboration with Birmingham LGBT.
Fashion and presentation can be an amazing way to relieve dysphoria, and these workshops will be beneficial to both beginners and experienced DIY-fashionistas.
Wear your gender euphoria (pinned on) your sleeve! You'll spend the afternoon exploring creative ways to accessorise, delving into DIY style inspo and will learn how to make your very own hand beaded accessories to wear out with you.
