Celebrating Bristol Refugee Festival
Join us for a special Women’s Craft Club event as we mark this year’s Bristol Refugee Festival and celebrate themes of sanctuary, culture, and community.
Explore traditional textile craft led by a Ukrainian artist and maker Svitlana Trygub. You’ll be guided through felt sewing and embroidery techniques while creating decorative pieces based on Ukrainian floral motifs—symbols often associated with protection and storytelling. Learn about Ukrainian embroidery traditions and the symbols that appear in traditional folk designs in a relaxed and creative environment that encourages connection through craft.
Friday 19 June, 11am to 1pm
Free. No need to book, just drop in.
All materials provided, including knitting, crochet, embroidery, fabrics, jewellery making and more.
These workshops are open, inclusive and a celebration of community through creativity.
