From Rags to Drag
Free From Rags to Drag is a creative meetup that puts the focus on the craft behind the glamour. Hosted at Artisans Asylum, the event invites drag performers, costume makers, theater artists, cosplayers and anyone interested in making to gather, work on projects and share skills in a collaborative studio setting. The appeal is getting a look at the process behind the finished looks, from sewing and styling to the problem-solving that happens long before a performer hits the stage. It’s less a class and more an open creative workspace where people can trade ideas, work alongside others and build something new. For anyone curious about costume design, DIY fashion or the artistry that makes drag so visually memorable, this offers a rare chance to see that side of the scene up close.
