Question 1

What exactly is blackout poetry?

Accepted Answer

It's a creative technique where you take a page of existing text (like from a book or newspaper) and black out the words you don't want, leaving behind a new poem made from the remaining words. It's like finding a secret message!

Question 2

Do I need to be good at poetry or writing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! This session is for all skill levels, and no poetry experience is needed. It’s about having fun and playing with words, not about being a professional writer.

Question 3

Do I need to bring any books or supplies?

Accepted Answer

No, we will provide everything you need—pages from books, markers, and other materials. Just bring yourself!

Question 4

Will I have to share my poem with the group?

Accepted Answer

There is absolutely no pressure to share what you create. We are committed to providing a safe and non-judgemental environment where you can participate in a way that feels comfortable for you.

Question 5

Who can attend this event?

Accepted Answer

This Queer Craft session is a dedicated event for individuals aged 18 and over who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s one of our many support and social groups that provide safe and welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Question 6

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. Project 93 is a small charity, and we are able to keep our services free and accessible to all thanks to funding and public donations.

Question 7

I’m thinking of coming alone and feel a bit nervous.

Accepted Answer

We understand that coming to a new group can be daunting, but our team and regular attendees are very friendly. We work hard to foster a strong sense of community and create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. We'd love to see you there.
