1525: Slow Craft Social

Join us for a slow craft social lead by Textile Artist and our Visitor Services Supervisor, 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. This drop-in workshop focuses on enjoying the process of making as opposed to producing a finished piece.

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.

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

This event is held in The Studio.
