Join local neurodivergent creative Gem aka @unattainableblonde in a workshop in celebration of special interests! Participants are encouraged to bring an object that is special to them and then create beautiful homes to display these treasures out of the boxes, embellishments and college materials provided. We will be writing labels for the objects to express their significance and taking a photo to document the work of our diy archive at the end. Your chosen object can be whatever you desire whether a pebble from the beach, a kitsch but slightly cursed trinket from a charity shop, a fave toy or fogurine. There will be an optional show and tell at the end of the session for anyone who wishes to share what they've created and why it is important to them. Sharing your special interests is encouraged! The session will begin with a short introduction from the workshop leader Gem and attendees are invited to share their name, pronouns and their chosen object if they wish. The session will have soft lighting, stim toys and taking breaks from the workshop are welcome.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
