SUMMARY:Who inspires you and why?
DESCRIPTION:Come along and celebrate inspiring women this International Women’s Day through tufting art workshops with punch needling and Rag Rugging. \nWhen? \n\nSaturday 4 March at Town Hall on Bridge Street 12-3pm (Free\, Drop-in) \n\nTogether with artist Rose Croft\, we are running a tufting workshop with punch needle and Rag Rugging art at the International Women’s Day Celebration’s at Peterborough Town Hall (4 March)\, exploring the theme of influential women\, and the reasons why they inspire you!  \nPunch needle art is a form of embroidery suitable for all skill levels\, using a large needle like tool to punch loops of yarn through fabric. It is a fast process which allows you to make mistakes and experiment with different designs and textures. Rag Rugging is a craft where people use recycled fabrics and clothes to create rugs. By prodding and poking strips of fabric through linen.   \nArtist Rose Croft will be teaching you the basics of both these techniques whilst making your own punch needle design to work with and contribute to a collective piece of tufted art. Rose will guide you through the process\, of selecting the right materials\, practicing the technique\, working with colours\, creating a design\, and then making a piece of art that you can be proud of.  \nDuring the session we will be having a chat about who inspires you and why\, these discussions will help inform designs inspired by those women and conversations\, whilst also feeding into a larger collaborative piece of textile art!  \n \nAbout Rose Croft Rose is an artist and storyteller and based in Spalding and Peterborough. Rose works to engage people with art\, story and nature in ways that forge lifelong connections. Through her creative work Rose aims to capture and share the simple joy within us\, brought out by the world we live in by using colour and focusing on the process of making and doing.

SUMMARY:Long Table Discussion: Cost of Living Crisis with Dora Colquhoun
DESCRIPTION:Join Liverpool based theatre maker and artist Dora Colquhoun for a participatory event discussing the cost of living crisis. The conversation will be organised in the long table format\, created by performance artist Lois Weaver\, which aims to make sure everyone who joins is able to be heard and can participate when they want to. \nWhat will happen? \nA simple format of a table 12 chairs and the subject of the cost of living will be up for discussion. The aim of the format is to enable discussion where no one is the ‘expert’ it is a non hierarchical space. Everyone in the room has the power to shift the direction of conversation\, to mediate moments of tension and to make space for voices less easily heard. \nIf the idea of participating in this event terrifies you do not worry\, you can be a ‘spectator’ and witness the discussion sitting outside the main table. There will be an opportunity to join in if you feel inclined. The event will be audio recorded. \nThe event is supported by ourselves and Project Phakama. \nSchedule \n12pm: Soup\, refreshments and spoken word. Please come along prior for free soup. \n1pm: Long table discussion about the cost-of-living crisis 90 minutes. \n2.30: Refreshments cake debrief and music \n4pm: End \nVenue \nUllet Road Unitarian Church \n57 Ullet Rd\, \nLiverpool \nL17 2AA \nAccessibility \nStep free access to the Unitarian Church is available\, please inform us in advance if you require a member of staff to meet you once you enter the grounds. There is also an accessible toilet. \nThe event will have a BSL interpretor. \nWe will also facilitate a quiet space. \nBook free tickets here.
