Join us for a relaxing day of crafting led by Emma Graves. Drawing ideas from Craftivism* and Mindfulness, we will explore relaxing techniques such as embroidery, collage, and printing in the session. Take time to approach making in a contemplative space to resist the pressures of productivity. These drop-in workshops focus on enjoying the process of making as opposed to producing a finished piece.

There’s no need to have previous craft experience. Drop-in at any time but booking is required.

Materials will be provided!

*Craftivism (coined by Betsy Greer), a portmanteau of craft and activism, utilises craft as a form of gentle protest.

Free for all. This event is aimed at 15-25 year olds. Booking is required.
