International Women's Day Alternative Crafternoon!

We celebrated International Women's Day with an Alternative Crafternoon! There was not a cup of tea or slice of cake in sight! Instead we choose to raise up the women around us with lots of fun crafts: stitch your own protest signs, glittery tampon earrings, vulva paintalong and more!

Wicked Women’s Institute, Geetlush and I, asked the awesome creative community of Cardiff and received over 25 raffle prizes and with all the ticket sales and raffle tickets sold, we raised £320 for Welsh Women’s Aid - which has absolutely blown my mind!

Resident of O Dan//Under\\Nos Da. Rou’s Ink created a tattoo flash sheet and donated a portion of each to our total amount raised.

Caitlin also joined us with her new pop up shop specialising in fiction/non fiction/zines from marginalised voices! Social links coming soon!

We would like to thank:

Lydia Niziblian, Green Squirrel , In Rainbows, Nelly's Treasures, Fizz Goes Pop, Silly Panda, Haus of Verona,
Mitra Makes, Sacha Reid Artist, Red Vessel Designs, Rhi Exists,
Tudleys Pen Art, Ultimate Drifter, Glass at the Spinney, Dave Stained Glass, Baked By Lou, Rou's Ink, Anna Palamar.

See you again next year!
