March of Women: Creative Workshops
Wednesday, 5th November, 2014, 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Discover some of the fascinating materials from Glasgow Women’s Library’s unique archive and use them as inspiration in an exciting craft workshop.
Wednesday 5th November, 2pm-5pm
Wednesday 19th November, 2pm-5pm
Over the course of the two workshops you will start by exploring the archive and end up with a collaborative artwork. Using the creative technique of Appliqué, which is a wonderful technique to use to tell stories with text and images, we will create a banner for the March of Women project.
Come and create a conversation as well as something beautiful, spend time with the suffragettes and learn new skills. No experience or artistic flair required! All materials will be provided.
These workshops are part of our March of Women programme of events.

March of Women
March of Women is a community arts project which will bring together the women and families of Glasgow through a dramatic celebration of local history and social space. This project is a partnership between Royal Conservatoire Scotland and Glasgow Women’s Library funded by Creative Scotland.
The project takes its inspiration from A Pageant of Great Women by Cicely Hamilton, performed and toured in 1909. The play was radical due its politics and the sheer number of people involved since the cast was mostly recruited from the local female population.
