About this Event

For Loughborough University students only

Celebrate International Women’s Day by embroidering positive words to create a one-of-a-kind tote bag. Our arts worker Holly Sykes will teach you some basic stitches and help guide you through the process. Take away your unique bag at the end of the session to keep for yourself or gift to someone.

This workshop is beginner-friendly and all materials are provided.

There is a suggested ticket price of £3 to cover the cost of materials, with a ‘Pay What You Can’ option.

About Create & Connect
