Join us for a creative workshop exploring how community spaces are cared for and sustained through collective action. Delivered with the Social Impact Team and led by artist and designer Christie Swallow , you'll learn about the Soanes Centre and its environmental education work before taking part in a collaborative textile-making session. Using sun printing and machine sewing, you'll create beautiful textile pieces inspired by the centre while exploring themes of community care, creativity and ecology. These pieces will go on display in the Soanes Centre. You'll also meet Soanes Centre volunteers and gain insight into how their educational programmes are nurtured in the unique setting of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park. Together, you'll help create functional textile works that support the centre's ongoing activities. You don't need to have any sewing experience - come along and learn a new skill! What is a Crafternoon? Crafternoons are fun one-off volunteering opportunities run by your Students' Union that involve doing an enjoyable creative activity for a good cause. It’s all about small actions creating big change, learning a new skill and meeting new people. At our events, you’ll always find friendly student and staff faces to make sure you feel welcome and supported. Want to explore more one-off volunteering opportunities?
