Feminist Fun: IWD 2023

Our favourite day of the year is here: it’s International Women’s Day! Galvanised by 2023’s theme, #EmbraceEquity we’re calling on YOU to join us in challenging gender stereotypes, calling out discrimination, drawing attention to bias and seeking inclusion, while celebrating the amazing women and folks who make the world go round.

Looking for a female-founded brand to support this International Women’s Day? Read on for celebratory crafting, best-selling feminist jewellery and charitable collaborations that support women’s causes this March and beyond.

Flex your work-womanship skills with a jewellery making experience! We’re bringing our jewellery-making workshops to Bournemouth: for one day only join Tatty Devine Co-Founder, Rosie Wolfenden MBE and get your craft on with our International Women’s Day-inspired Mini Suffragette Bunting Necklace workshop on Saturday 11th March! 

Don’t miss out: book your place now!

Choose from a pick 'n' mix of mirrored, glitter and printed laser cut acrylic flags in iconic Suffragette colours, before learning how to hand link them all together to create a bespoke necklace. We firmly believe community blooms from craft and you never know, you might leave with a whole host of like-minded new friends!

Spot our handmade feminist banners in GIANT Gallery!

The perfect way to celebrate International Women’s Day, once you’ve put your jewellery-making skills to the test, take a jaunt around the Bournemouth gallery’s exhibition of feminist art which pairs artists from the 70s and 80s with contemporary creatives, from Louise Bourgeois and Guerilla Girls to Tai Shani and Rosie Gibbens.
