Workshops

We offer custom workshops that cater to attendees’ particular needs. In addition, we lead freeform or short workshops at events like Maker Faire Vancouver, The One of a Kind Show, Hello Etsy and Cos & Effect,

There are two kinds of custom workshops. Hands-on sessions involve making an ugly creature and exploring ugly from the perspective of arts and crafts. We discuss the pressures inherent in creative endeavours – to make pretty things, to be perfect, to create desirable things – and connect the dots between our crafty project and the challenges we face in general when it comes to creative projects. Hands-on sessions require no crafts experience, and are appropriate for any group, from corporate professional-development groups to arts groups.

Discussion sessions are, well, self-explanatory aren’t they? These sessions are most appropriate for attendees who live or work in a creative mindset and are intimately acquainted with the voice inside their head that speaks ugly things.

We’re always open to hearing your idea for an event or workshop catered to your specific needs.

Mighty Ugly is based in Vancouver, Canada. We’re available to do workshops all over the Lower Mainland, and we’re open to being invited anywhere in the world (assuming your organization will foot our travel and lodging expenses).

Workshops are led by Kim Werker, and can last anywhere from two hours to half a day. All supplies and tools are provided for hands-on workshops. Venue is not provided (read: we don’t have our own workshop you can visit; consider us a band of wildly entertaining, fun-creating ugly nomads).
