Can Glitter, Fabric and Paint Take You Home?

Come join us at LCB Depot for a fun-filled event exploring the power of creativity in bringing comfort and warmth. You’ll decorate pre-cut templates of household objects using paints, fabrics, glitter and more, creating your own piece inspired by a memory or place you hold dear.

You’re welcome to bring a small personal household object to reflect on as you work.

This event is for adults in Leicester whose sense of home is shaped by more than one place, or who want to explore feelings of identity and belonging in a creative way. No art skills needed; just curiosity and a willingness to share stories. We’ll chat, make and reflect together in a friendly setting and you’ll leave with a unique piece to take home and a new way of seeing the objects around you.
