One of the events me and the Norwich Dandies organised at Dandifest were Dress, Paint and Pose like a Dandy workshops where people could dress up and paint each other. Between 2016 and 2018 we took the interactive workshops to various venues in Norfolk. We dubbed first tour Winter Wonderland and visited venues ranging from Thetford Library to Oulton Chapel.

The images on this page are all from a workshop we organised at Stepping Stones in 2018. Stepping Stones is a day centre in Norwich for people with learning difficulties. For this tour we worked with a Russian drag queen who we named Putinka.
