In this celebration of Welsh women’s history and creativity there will be the opportunity to write poetry, share it in an exhibition of vintage china (upcycled by artist Linda Norris) and join together for an afternoon tea:
*On Saturday 31st July (10.30 – 3pm) there will be a poetry writing workshop based on ‘shards’. Bring along some found china, sea glass or a shard of pottery from a broken heirloom and be guided through a series of exercises to inspire your writing.
*At the end of the session, you will choose a line from your writing to appear on some vintage china as we celebrate the mudlarkers, resourceful mothers and housewives whose histories are fragmented or forgotten in time. This work will be created by artist Linda Norris in her studio.
*On Saturday 28th August at 3pm, there will be an afternoon tea for participants to launch an exhibition of the finished work.
*At the end of September, we’ll be in touch and participants will be welcome to collect and treasure their unique artworks as heirlooms of the future!
£50 per person (generously subsidised by the National Lottery Heritage Fund) and spaces are strictly limited. Bring a packed lunch.

On Saturday 5th December at 11 am, we will be hosting a Zoom Crafternoon in aid of Mind.
This will be an informal chatty workshop to bring people together in these isolating times. We will be creating Christmas-themed ‘Cup of Tea Greetings Cards’ for the tea-drinkers in our lives, to send the feeling of wellbeing far and wide!
In history, women have been dismissed as the ‘tea makers’. This workshop will celebrate the benefits of a cup of tea and chat with friends and the significance it still holds in all our lives.
