A circle weaving workshop using colours inspired by the spices used in traditional South Asian cuisine.

Join artist Saj Fareed for this workshop where we’ll be creating our own circle weave artworks. This lovely mindful arts activity encourages us to slow down and be present whilst exploring South Asian culture through colours inspired by the spices used in traditional cuisine.

This relaxing and informal session will allow participants to experience the joy of slow crafts guided by Saj’s life-long passion for textile-based work.
