This Event...

The amazing Katie Davis is running May's workshop, in this interactive session, we’ll take a deeper look into one of the oldest forms of technology: knitting!

Women have been fundamental to the development of technology since its very beginning. Textiles represent one of humanity's earliest and most transformative technologies.

Katie's talk will cover:

• How knitting evolved in step with other technologies.
• How education helped spread it into an accessible, widespread craft.
• What that journey can teach us about the way technology grow.
• What it looks like for women to take an active role in steering the future of technology.

This session will involve one-to-one and small group discussion exploring what technology means to you personally, and how we can help shape where it goes next as a collective. No laptops required.

We are so thankful that Katie is giving up her time to run this session!

Drinks and snacks will be provided.
