Event: Embroidery for Empowerment
Join us on International Women’s Day for this half day creative workshop celebrating women around the world, with inspiration from the amazing Red Dress on display at the Museum during March.
We are honoured that leading the workshop will be British artist Kirstie Macleod, the woman who conceived The Red Dress project and made it happen.
Set in two parts, the workshop will culminate in the chance to add your own piece to our replica dress , interweaving your own personal stories with your stitches.
