About this event

Learn to make a small banner using fabric & yarns!

Join Sara Clasper and Sarah Perry and come and make a small banner.

Maybe you’d like to make a banner for yourself, a cause, your street or a group? We’ll provide all the equipment you’ll need to do this.

Banners have been made throughout history by various groups (e.g. miners, feminists) to raise awareness about important issues and the importance of identity and belonging.

Making banners fits well with Sara and Sarah’s craftivism (craft + activism) approach – the art of gentle protest. Sarah Corbett’s Craftivism Manifesto, connecting with hands, hearts and heads, is our constant guide.

Please feel free to bring along any fabric or yarns that you might want to incorporate into your banner.

Sarah and Sara both love working with textiles and try to reuse and recycle as much as they can in all their projects and encourage you to do so too. We’re looking forward to raising banners with you!

Pre-booking is essential as spaces are limited. The workshop costs £10, which is payable on booking. Call 01209 614430 to book your place, during opening hours (Tues-Thurs, 9.30am-4pm).

Please note, refreshments will not be provided. The new Ginkgo café at Kresen Kernow will be open on the day (serving drinks, cakes, snacks and lunch items) or you are welcome to bring your own refreshments.

The workshop will be delivered in a covid-safe manner, with individual tables & resources. (Masks should be worn when in public spaces/around the building). Sanitiser will be provided.
