Story Café this Spring

Glasgow Women's Library 23 Landressy Street, Glasgow

Think lunchtime is just about what’s on your sandwich? Think again! Pull up at chair at our weekly Story Café, sit back with your cuppa and travel the world, one tale at a time. We’ve read about barefoot, pioneering climbers in Snowdonia, globe-trotting, fearless matriarchs from India, and fabled heroines on dangerous quests in Afghanistan.

Exhibition Launch: Material Matters – Sharing Stories of Sewing

Glasgow Women's Library 23 Landressy Street, Glasgow

Exhibition launch of 'Material Matters' which shares the works created during the project by women at workshops across Scotland. Material Matters involved women of different ages and cultures in the creation of sewn wall hangings inspired by each person’s emotional attachment to a textile that has a story to tell: a grandmother’s quilt, a child’s dungarees, a Palestinian embroidery, a wedding dress.
