Dare to Dream workshops

Inspired by Derbyshire’s history of innovation, Dare to Dream invites everyone from across the county (and beyond!) to create new flags embodying hope, aspiration and radical thinking.

This is your chance to discover Derbyshire’s textiles heritage, create a monumental artwork together, and dream of a better future through making.

Using old, unwanted fabrics and found materials, we invite you to make powerful statements of possibility using flags, garments or banners.

Inspired by Heanor’s rich textile and making heritage join artist Karen Logan and create a unique hand stitched textile patch to share your stories and hopes for the future. Pin your precious patch to the Dare to Dream repurposed pillowcases and take a selfie. At the end of the festival the patches will be stitched to the pillowcases to create stunning flags showcasing hope in Heanor. Lets fly the flag for Derbyshire!

Karen is an artist and creative practitioner with a passion for nature and wildlife, and is based near Heanor.

FREE. Drop-in, no booking required. All materials provided, but if you have any unwanted fabrics, then please bring them along.
