FAQ!
-
I’d describe these as beginner-to-intermediate classes. If you’re terrified of your sewing machine and have never sewn in your life, I’d recommend taking an Intro to Machine Sewing class with Rain at the Rainbow Nook first! If you’re confident that you can sew a straight line on a machine, then I’d say you’re ready for one of my classes!
-
Yes!*
*You can pay in cash or venmo on-site, but email sheankingdrag@gmail.com first with the date and time of the class to claim your spot! Space is VERY limited, and I wouldn’t want you to show up ready to sew only to get turned away!
-
Thread, fabric, and other supplies are available for purchase on-site! You can also order materials online, Etsy, Big Z Fabric, and Mood are some of my favorites. Locally, you can find great fabrics at thrift shops, and Sewfisticated in Dorchester!
-
These classes are not one and done! I plan to cycle through classes to give everyone a chance to make what they want to make. You’re welcome to book a private lesson with me with a specific project in mind, or let me know that there was one class you REALLY wanted to do so I know to run it again sooner rather than later!
-
For group classes, make sure they have purchased a time slot, or purchase one for them. For private lessons, sure! Let me know in advance if you’re planning to work together on a project, or if they’re just listening in.
-
Sure! You’re welcome to bring drinks and food, there’s also tons of great places to eat in the neighborhood!
-
Yes! The Rainbow Nook is a short walk from the Orange Line, as well as the 39 bus.
ANYONE CAN DO DRAG!
Anyone can do drag is a PWYC drag workshop/skillshare hosted by Shean King and Ladyboy George of Low Cringe Tolerance. It is a relaxed, social setting where you can bring crafts, makeup, costumes, drawings, practice dance/movement in a large space with mirrors, or whatever else your heart may desire. You can ask drag performers questions, share what you know, or just hang out! All skill levels welcome! Anyone Can Do Drag is hosted at Spontaneous Celebrations in Jamaica Plain, every other 3rd Sunday.
Have questions? Have suggestions for classes you wanna see? Looking to book Shean to teach a drag/sewing workshop outside of these opportunities? Get in touch!
