Where: Woodend Gallery, Scarborough, YO11 2PW

When: Sunday February 22 // 11am to 3pm

About the workshop:

Make your mark on a community timeline banner showing the centuries-long span of Scarborough’s LGBTQ+ history.

Just like the plaques, we’ll commemorate nationally significant events alongside the events that matter most to local LGBTQ+ people.

Inspired by the medieval marginalia of the town’s most famous queer love story – King Edward II’s final goodbye to Piers Gaveston at Scarborough Castle in 1312 – we’ll decorate the edges of our timeline with textile art and fabric painting/drawing. You can suggest a milestone for the timeline, and/or you can help us decorate it – whatever works for you!
