Women Making It: Kindness

Create something beautiful to celebrate kindness with Women Making It!

Women Making It: Kindness, Tuesday 9th March, 1pm to 2.30pm, Women only, 16+

We’re delighted to welcome Zaheera Pathan from Purple Bee, who works with felt to lovingly craft beautiful things, to lead this relaxed, online workshop on the theme of kindness.  Zaheera will gently guide us, step by step, so don’t worry if you’ve never worked with felt before.

Gift one or more of the items you craft to a refugee group, frontline worker, or anyone you think would benefit from an act of kindness. We’ll also be sharing what we make on our website, to get people thinking and talking about kindness.

When you book your place, we’ll post you out a ‘Kindness Craft Bundle’, so you’ll have everything you need to take part!

This event is supported by the Carnegie UK Trust’s Creating Space for Kindness project. Glasgow Women’s Library is part of their network of Champions for Libraries and Kindness. You can find out more here.

An automated live transcript using Otter.ai is available during this event. We also have a small amount of funding available to provide live captioning through Stagetext for some of our Spring events. Stagetext captioning is provided in-person and is therefore more accurate. Please get in touch with Emily on emily.ilett@womenslibrary.org.uk at least 3 weeks before the event if this would be helpful to you and we’ll work to arrange this. See here for upcoming events where live captioning with Stagetext is arranged.
