co-hosted erotic plate painting series
2019 CO-HOSTED EROTIC PLATE WORKSHOP SERIES
Starting in 2019 I will be holding co-hosted Erotic Plate Workshops with local Chicago makers, activists, educators, sex-workers, artists, writers and more to dive a little more deeply into pleasure rituals. The class will be slightly longer and include a casual salon-style Q&A between the host and myself as we explore topics together. None of the participants will be required to share, it is all voluntary. For each class we will be collaborating on a small collection of topic-related artwork to be painted on the plates.
Co-HOSTED Series: PARTNERED MASSAGE
Come enjoy a casual Q & A with artist Leah Ball and Godmutha and community healer Tristen Seven as we discuss tricks and techniques for partnered massage rituals while you paint and create in the studio! All proceeds will be going to help support Tristen for her upcoming surgery and recovery.
