Time: 10 - 2pm
Where: Wildcard Studios, W1K 6TG
‘WERKshop’ is for queer creatives starting out, looking to define their voice, and learn the basics of building a queer practice and dare we say, a sustainable creative business. This is for those who need a bit of nurturing, a bit of thinking space and some explaining on what the heck you need to do to get ahead.
More Info:
Across three weeks, ‘WERKshop’ we will spend time talking about you, what you want to do and how you are gonna get there. We’ll look at the boring but necessary admin a queerdo needs to keep afloat plus useful professional and personal strategies to keep us creative and sane. We’ll take a look at funding applications, budgeting and, most importantly, useful ways to get your ideas out into the world, crystal queer.
