Workshop

Side by Side - Sewing for Refugee Week

22 June 2025
11:00 - 4:00
Free to all

Read the stories behind the stitches, and sew a drawstring bag for our 2025-27 Make project!

Are you handy with a needle? Mark Refugee Week by following that ancient tradition of stitching alongside a friend or stranger. See a quilt made by asylum seekers in temporary accommodation – on display for the day – in collaboration with Refugee Support Devon. Have you got any spare fabric at home?

Bring along donations of clean cotton – freshly washed at 40 degrees C – to use in RAMM’s community projects.
