    £3 suggested donation

    All monies will go to support these great charities:
    Apne Aap | Care | Fawcett Society | Glasgow Women’s Library | Women's Support Project

    Come cosy in with the blankets that have been beautifully crafted from the explosion of knitted love that was created by men and women across the globe to represent the 100 million women estimated to be missing from today's global population due to gender discrimination in the extreme.

    Aye- Aye Books will be there all day to inspire.

    10 am  Jenny Soep will be encouraging you to put pen to paper. Materials will be supplied but you are very welcome to bring your own.

    11 am Catherine Barthram and Fiona Johnston will guide you through making your own knitted pouch/i-pod cover/treasure keeper

    12.30 - 2.15 pm Emma Hagen and Jenny Soep will take you on a journey of living theatre and drawing.

    This workshop will explore the theme of 'missing'. I heartily encourage you to commit to this event in advance as places are limted. [16 plus]
