London Alternative Market

Workshops

Each month at 2pm and 4pm we plan on having two separate workshops, hosted by Simply Workshops. Each workshop will last in the region of thirty minutes, and will be held downstairs in front of the all day dungeon and are well sign-posteded throughout the venue. The workshops will be free - that is, included in the cost of admission to the LAM.

The August workshops will be

2pm — Badg1 when things go bad.

4pm — Mistress Nikki.

The July workshops were

2pm — Toy-gine by Dom-estics — Gather around, and lets hear of the best ways of keeping it clean whilst playing dirty. I'm quite sure, most of us want to play dirty, but in all the right ways!

4pm — Demo: Q&A Session — An English country garden; Staples with a difference - by firemynxB - A lot of us already know the basics of staples, how to use them, how to put them in, and how to take them out, so for once, we are going to go for colourful, and fun, and put even more imagination into what we can do. So we are going to have our very own LAM-Flower-box in the form of our delicious demo bunny.

The June workshops ...

... would have been these, except for venue difficulty that month. Whether these are postponed or replaced, this page will be updated once we know!
