Head Dress making Workshop

Sequin Showstoppers is hosting a head dress making workshop on Saturday 7 November, and it's exactly what it sounds like: a night spent building your own headpiece from the ground up. The session runs from 8:00 PM at their space on 86 Bristol Street in Birmingham, and the main event is the making itself.

They're providing the materials, so you'll be working with feathers and sequins to put your piece together. If you've ever wanted one of those towering, flamboyant head dresses but didn't know where to start, this is a good way to get one without having to source all the bits yourself. You'll be doing the assembling on the night, so you'll walk out with something you've actually made rather than just buying it off a shelf.

It's not just about the crafting, though. The night is billed as having feathers, sequins, Prosecco, drag and 'a whole lot of fabulousness' mixed in. The drag side of things means you'll be making your head dress in a room that's already leaning into the camp and the theatrical, so it's as much about the atmosphere as it is about the end result. If you're into drag culture, this is a chance to get a bit of the behind-the-scenes craft for yourself.

It's a Saturday night session, starting at 8:00 PM at Sequin Showstoppers, 86 Bristol Street, Birmingham.
