8 ways you can support Craftspace today
A donation of £250-£1000 pays for artists’ time to take risks, experiment with different materials or collaborators to make new work for our next major touring exhibition: We are Commoners! – exploring how craft contributes to shared public resources and places.
A regular donation of £20 a month could make it possible for a woman to attend Shelanu by supporting their travel costs into Birmingham.
Shelanu supports migrant and refugee women to develop craft skills, enterprise and wellbeing through social enterprise.
A fundraising activity raising £60 buys materials for local families to experience the joy of making at free community workshops that encourage creativity, communication and relaxation.
Most of our activities are free however we welcome donations in our fun donation boxes.
