About the workshop
Step into a relaxed, affirming space of creativity, colour, and Pride.
In this workshop, you’ll explore colour, shape, and symbolism as you create your own Pride flag collage one that reflects who you are, what you stand for, and how you shine.
We’ll briefly look at the history and meaning behind different Pride flags, then you’ll be guided through designing your own version using mixed media, paint, paper, and texture. You’re welcome to recreate a flag that represents your community, or design something entirely personal that reflects your identity and journey.
This is a playful, expressive session not heavy, not clinical, and with no pressure to share unless you want to. Music will be playing, materials will be flowing, and creative freedom is encouraged.

A3 canvas paper (easy to take home, hang, or frame)

Alejandro Lauren
I’m Alejandro Lauren, also known as Wayde Clarke. Alejandro is my alter ego a part of me that allows me to be loud and proud. I created them to break out of my comfort zone, to step into a space where I can truly shine, pushing past my own boundaries and embracing the fabulous person we all are.
My art is deeply tied to the human experience and emotion. I believe that the one thing that connects us all is how we navigate life’s challenges how we cope, manage, and share our stories. Through my work, I’ve learned to embrace vulnerability, sharing my own experiences and stories in the hope that others might see themselves reflected in my art. I want my work to help people connect, relate, and even heal, just as it has done for me.
Each piece is a journey of colour, emotion, and meaning, celebrating life, culture, and the power of human connection. I invite you to explore my art, and I hope it resonates with you on a personal level.
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope my work brings you as much healing and inspiration as it has brought me.
