Patches of Power: Wigan Community Quilt

We're partnering with Ben & Jerry's to celebrate their new community inspired ice cream flavour by creating a collaborative quilt mural! We are SO excited to be partnering up with Ben & Jerry's to host a special collaborative workshop in Wigan to celebrate the launch of their brand new ice-cream flavour ‘LOVE Nut Hate’ centred around the theme of community power! We know all about the power of community here at Everyday and what better way to honour the great work being done to bring people together, support those in need, and build grassroots power than with hands-on creativity and eating ice cream! Together, we will be creating a Community Quilt mural made from all of your individual patchwork squares that show what we all love about Wigan. This can be a memory, a person, a place, a quote or a word that helps bring all the great things about our town to life! Come along on Saturday the 24th October to decorate and contribute your own patch of power.💪 We’ll have a wide range of materials available for all skill levels; no previous textiles experience necessary as our Everyday team will be there to help guide you through the process! This activity is open to all ages but children must be accompanied by an adult. This session is FREE to attend and will run as a drop in activity, however booking is encouraged to give us an idea on numbers and how much ice cream to bring!🍦 📅Saturday 24th October ⏰Drop in 11am - 3pm 📍Room For Dreaming, Makinson Arcade, Wigan, WN1 1PL 👪 All ages welcome but children must be accompanied by an adult Please note during busier periods of the session you may be required to wait before starting the activity if the room is at capacity. 📸Photographs will be being taken throughout the event, please let one of our team know upon arrival if you would not like to be photographed.
