This Is Me! A Day of Creative Workshops Around the Theme of Identity
Ffotogallery is running a whole day of creative workshops on Saturday 6th August around the theme of Identity. Through practical activities, participants will have the opportunity to express their true selves in a safe space.
All materials, water and hot drinks will be provided.
Workshops and timings:
11am - 1pm Vignette Making Workshop
1 - 3pm Badge Making Workshop
3 - 5pm Zine Making Workshop
Vignette Making Workshop
Cath (Ffotogallery) will be running this creative workshop around themes of identity. Using a small lightbox as our setting, we will be creating your own mini universes by building vignettes from photos and collage. You can select from a range of prepared backgrounds and props to stage a space that tells the world all about you! You are also welcome to bring any small photographs along to add to your piece too. We will then use our phones to capture these mini worlds and make them all the more real.
Badge Making Workshop
Workshop outline: Join Reg of SPAF Collective as he gives you the lowdown on some of his favourite queer, political, protest and miscellaneous badges from the last few decades. You’re invited to make your own groovy DIY badges to celebrate Pride, bash the tories, or whatever you want! Bring along any newspapers or other thin paper ephemera that you’d like to collage onto a badge.
Zine Making Workshop
Joshua Jones will be running a zine-making workshop on identity. Workshop participants will consider how to express and explore their identity through collaged imagery, and thinking about how to incorporate text and materials. There will be some materials provided, including scissors, glue and paper, but please feel free to bring your own collaging materials.
