'The Birds and The Bees' - Celebration of Spring with Songs & Stories (Sat 10.05.25)
Come and celebrate Spring with an evening of bawdy May Songs, and folk tales celebrating the rising sap, fertility and abundance of spring with singer-storyteller Dominique Fester.
Expect, laughter, silliness and to join in with a chorus or two to clear out those rusty wind pipes and bring a blush to the cheeks. This event will be gently and warmly participatory with the option of making and taking your own piece of corn craft home and the end.
All washed down with plenty of cheese and a glass of wine.
Patteh Embroidered Jewellery Workshop with Mitra Freeman (Sunday 11.05.25)
Join Mitra for a workshop embroidering felt hair grip or broach using the traditions of Iranian Patteh (پته). This traditional embroidery style from the southern province of Kerman (کرمان) has been handed down from mother to daughter and in Mitra's case handed down by her Grandmother, Mamanjan, a skilled Patteh embroiderer.
In this workshop you will learn how to embroider your very own eye shaped talisman hair clip or broach to ward off the “evil eye” known as Zakhm e Cheshm (چشم زخم) in Farsi.
The workshop will take place on Sunday the 11th of May from 10am to 1pm in Cardiff Made.
