What you'll do

Join a workshop to design and create badges that help you tell the world who you are. Whether you’ve tried craftivism before, or it’s completely new to you, this session is open to all.

You’ll learn embroidery techniques and then put them into action to create a badge that represents a part of yourself, whether that’s your political beliefs, a subculture you’re a part of, your hobbies or even your hair colour.
