Take it home to keep as a decoration or wear it as a brooch. The butterfly can be a symbol of many admirable and healing qualities including: resilience\, endurance\, rebirth\, transformation\, resurrection\, change\, hope and life. \nThere’s lots more going on at the festival including food\, drink and music.

SUMMARY:Collage & Mark-Making in Birmingham's Historic Jewellery Quarter
DESCRIPTION:Come along to this relaxed and friendly workshop in which artist Amber Lily will support to create your own artwork inspired by the unique character of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter\, followed by a selection of vegetarian small plates by Txitikeo\, Birmingham’s premier tapas restaurant. \nThe workshop will begin with a short walking tour of the local area\, exploring the colours\, textures and forms of the streetscape. \nYou’ll then return to the workshop\, where Amber will walk you through exploring how colour\, texture and mark-making can be combined to create accomplished collages reflecting the character of a place. \nYou will have access to a range of materials (handmade papers\, paints\, pens\, mark-making tools\, and more) to help you add texture and depth to your piece. You’ll also have a chance to finish your artwork with stitched details. \nAmber and members of the Craftspace team will be there to guide and support you at each step of the way. \nOnce you are happy with your finished artwork\, you’ll have the chance to enjoy some delicious\, traditional pinchos (tapas-style dishes from Northern Spain\, affectionately described as ‘tasty stuff on bread’!) and a glass of something nice to celebrate\, made by our neighbours at Txikiteo – Birmingham’s premier tapas restaurant. \nThis event is hosted by Craftspace\, a Birmingham-based charity bringing people together through craft. \nAmber Lily is a contemporary textile artist whose practice centres on colour\, texture\, and mark-making\, creating abstract works rooted in everyday experience. She draws inspiration from often-overlooked details such as litter\, graffiti\, scuffed surfaces\, and urban plant life\, translating these observations into layered compositions. \nTxikiteo is the home of Spanish-inspired\, coal-fired small and large plates in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. It gets its name from the Basque tradition of hopping from bar to bar\, enjoying a small drink and bite to eat in each.
