We’re hosting Paper + Thread — a series of creative workshops bringing some incredibly talented artists and makers into town.

At the beginning of June, there’ll be small, hands-on sessions in things like natural dyeing, textiles, felt and jewellery.

It’s mainly aimed at people who already enjoy making — but we wanted to share it here too, because it’s a lovely thing to see happening in our town.

It’s all part of growing York as a place for creativity, learning and connection — and bringing new people here to experience it.

If it’s your kind of thing, you might like to take a look.
If not, just know there’ll be some beautiful creative energy around town!
