Description
We are going to be making a quilt of hope for the future and invite anyone to take a square of (reclaimed) textile and decorate it or write a message on to share.
No skills necessary, all equipment provided. If you're not handy with a needle then fabric pens will be available!
In this hands-on creative session you can express your views on the environment and sustainability by contributing to making a patchwork wall hanging using recycled fabrics.
