Join me for an afternoon of relaxed stitching as I share the story of Rosalind Franklin, one of Cambridge's most famous alumna.Born in 1920, Dr Franklin is most famous for her work on finding the structure of DNA alongside James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins - but this is just part of her story! Franklin's incredible career spans countries and disciplines, from helping to develop more effective gas masks during the war, to some of the first work exploring the structure of viruses.
In this session your will hear Rosalind's story and create of mini Rosalind-inspired cross-stitch to take away. All materials are provided, as well as refreshments and a wooden hoop to mount and display your finished work. This workshop is suitable for beginners, no previous experience necessary.
