I’m thrilled to share the confirmed workshop dates for our BUNTING FOR PEACE: FROM MAKE DO AND MEND TO STREET PARTIES project! This August 2025, join me at Erewash Museum for a series of drop-in bunting-making sessions as we work together to create 50 meters of commemorative bunting in honour of VE and VJ Day.
Whether you’re joining us for a quick rag bunting session or diving into embroidered details, there’s a place at the table for you. Bring your stories, your creativity, and your curiosity; let’s stitch peace, joy, and community spirit into every flag.
Here’s when you can take part:
