In this workshop with Ruth Hazel, you will be looking at how to make patches using a variety of materials whilst discussing the history of class and LGBTQIA* culture. Patches are to wear our identity literally on our sleeves (hats, backs etc) whether this is in blazing pride or subtle references for those in the know. We'll do a short writing exercise, then move on to playing with pens, spray paints, and embroidery.
