Ladies of Leisure Workshop Series

Overview

Ladies of Leisure — who you may know from their kickass zine, and associated parties, short films and apparel — are bringing back their workshop series for a second year, kicking off on November 22. LOL's workshops are all about creating a safe space for female creatives to grow and up-skill, and the event emphasises its inclusion of people of all orientations and identifications.
