On Saturday 10th December from 11-4pm Pedestrian Window Curators will be hosting a drop-in workshop, with artist Sally Lemsford.
Held at:
LCB Depot
31 Rutland Street
Cultural Quarter
Leicester
LE1 1RE
It will be a collaborative effort to showcase the diverse cultures and celebrations of Leicester during this festive season.
We want you to help us make and decorate a festive Sleigh, with things that remind you of Christmas. Whether it's last years old Christmas cards or crinkled sweet wrappers...if you bring it along...or make it here...it will all help to show what Leicester can 'make' of the festive period.
Window Curators are inviting you to frop off donations of gifts for the Sleigh which will be presented to Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young people on Friday 16th December.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
