Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a playful and creative twist! Join artist Tarrah Aroonsakool for Build-a-Soft Boi, a hands-on workshop inspired by her satirical 2024 collection, Soft Boi. This event humorously explores relationships, identity, and modern masculinity while encouraging self-expression and community through upcycled materials. In this workshop, participants will craft their very own “soft boi”—a handmade plush figure reflecting their unique imagination. Using thrifted fabrics, vintage clothing, and whimsical accessories, you’ll design the “ideal partner”—quiet, cuddly, and blissfully drama-free. What’s Included: A customizable plush figure made from recycled fabrics, ready for your personal flair Access to a thrifted clothing bin featuring soft boi staples like band tees and beanies A “s***y tattoo station” for ironic embellishments, such as outdated band lyrics or tiny daggers Stuffing to give your soft boi emotional “depth” Expert guidance to bring your soft boi’s look and personality to life Participants are encouraged to bring their own trinkets or accessories for an extra personal touch. This lighthearted workshop is perfect for adults who want to laugh, craft, and embrace a creative alternative to Valentine’s Day traditions. Reserve your spot now and leave with a one-of-a-kind creation that’s guaranteed to bring comfort, joy, and none of the clichés of modern romance.
