Ex-it

Channel the chaos of uncoupling with craft and wit, and turn your divorce papers or breakup memorabilia into a badge of honour.

We celebrate hens and stags, weddings, pregnancies, births, birthdays, deaths… Every life event has a formal do and the greeting card that goes with it, except separation. Ex-it exists to give relationship endings their due: a community, workshop-led experience to mark the ending thoughtfully, playfully and intentionally. Ceremonious chaos and creativity that pulls you back to yourself, so you can reclaim your story and rewrite the rules.

In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll create a highly personal paper and glitter brooch or pendant: a tangible symbol of your survival and your next chapter.

3 hours, with pastries, coffee and a glass of prosecco

Why Ex-it?

“Having gone through a divorce, I know first hand how often it’s framed as a personal failure. Finding resilience in the legal maze, the loneliness and the identity shift is no walk in the park. In hindsight, I believe it’s actually a pivotal moment for reclamation and return to self. That’s why I built an event to help people find a sense of community through cathartic self-expression, laughter and bubbles.”
Agathe, founder of Madam Makery

What Madam provides

Pages from marriage self-help books to repurpose, other paper options for you or your divorce-support wing-person, and all the materials for your paper jewellery: glitter, glue, glitter glue… Plus pastries, coffee and a glass of prosecco to keep the energy flowing.

What you can bring

Your divorce papers, or anything written that feels symbolic to you: letters, texts, shared energy bills…?

The vibe

A relaxed space to meet others going through the same thing. Overshare, find solidarity and take current events with a pinch of glitter. No arts and crafts experience needed.

Who is it for?

If you’re navigating divorce (or uncoupling outside of wedlock), know someone who is and want to cheer them on, or you’re a seasoned divorce veteran who still loves a dramatic exit and a big hat: you’re it.

Ex-it is an affinity space for all women and LGBTQ+ people. We ask that cisgender heterosexual men respect this boundary and do not attend.
