Queer Craft Circle

More info & tickets

We’re getting in the mood for fall with hot drinks, cozy vibes, and chats about our autumn textile craft plans! This edition of the QCC is part of Utrecht Queer Culture Festival.

The Queer Craft Circle is a space for queers where we come together to craft, share skills and meet up with like-minded folks. When we’re talking about craft, we mean textile crafts like knitting, embroidery, crocheting and other crafts that involve yarn, needle and thread.

We hope to create a safe(r) space where everyone identifying as queer can feel free to be themselves and be attentive to the differences we might have. We want to create a joyful gathering where you can be inspired by fellow queer crafters. We can share tips, patterns and more! There is an existing group chat; if you want to join, please send a DM to the organizer's Instagram.

The event is free, and you can bring your own materials and work-in-progress (and snacks! But we’ll also have some snacks for you). There is a bar at the venue where you can get (hot) drinks. Feel free to join later or leave at any moment during the meet-up! We usually do a check-in round at 14:00 and a check-out at 15:45.

Accessibility

The front door and bathroom in the grand hall are both wheelchair accessible (the bathroom is accessible via a ramp). We don’t play any background music during the event to accommodate sound-sensitive folk (but sometimes there is some noise from other events at the venue).
