Love to sew? Interested in craftivism?

Join us online or in-person for a workshop called 'Connection: Stitching a message to connect with others'. Artist Azadeh invites you to stitch a message to reach out to people, connect with them and counter feelings of isolation and loneliness. Your message could be about a cause or words to encourage community spirit and togetherness.

Taking inspiration from craftivism – a term used to describe the combining of craft and activism – make one for yourself, gift one to someone else or display it in a public space as an act of emotional unity.

Materials and equipment will be provided for those attending in person, but do think about the message you would like to share. A BSL interpreter will be available. This workshop is part of Craft Space Days of Commoning event.
