Soft Strokes: A Painting Workshop for Queer Joy and Expression (16+)

Description:

Join artist and facilitator Cristina Rago for Soft Strokes, a two-hour painting workshop rooted in care, creativity, and connection. Designed especially for queer young adults aged 16+, this session invites you to slow down and explore your inner world through intuitive painting. No experience needed, just come as you are.

Through gentle prompts, group sharing, and free-form play with colour and brushwork, we’ll create space for softness, story, and self-expression. Whether you’re working through something, seeking community, or simply want to try something new, this workshop offers a calm, supportive environment to connect, decompress, and create.

All materials will be provided. Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and maybe a friend.
