Together, we will make 4600 hand-embellished gifts, upcycling locally-sourced materials into messages of welcome, made with love in Brum.
Join in one of our workshops hosted by Selfridges to turn a simple blank gift template into a one-off, beautiful object that will be treasured forever by our visitors from the Commonwealth.
Crafters don’t need any experience or know-how to take part; we provide everything needed to wrap, knot and stitch.
The finished gifts and personal messages will be presented to a visiting athlete when they arrive for the Games in July.
Each gift will carry a message of welcome from one hand to another, marking a special moment in time for Birmingham.
Saturday 9th April & Sunday 10th April 2022
Selfridges, Birmingham
11am – 5pm on Sunday
4600 Gifts is produced by Craftspace, as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival, generously supported by Arts Council England and The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
