We are delighted to host the Red Dress event at Boconnoc House, Lostwithiel. You can join us for a creative and immersive day with the Red Dress.
You will be welcomed to Boconnoc House at 9 a.m., where we will start the day with coffee and pastries. You will meet the Lily & Belle team and we will introduce Kirstie MacLeod, the creator of the Red Dress, who will spend the day with us.
At 9.30am we will split into groups; one group will be with Kirstie and a Lily & Belle tutor for the morning exploring World Stitches which form part of the Red Dress. You will have time to ask Kirstie questions and learn more about the Red Dress journey. The other group will be with the Lily & Belle tutors looking at our community project and creating their own creative panels, which they can add to the community project or take home.
We stop for an extended lunch break, where you can spend time with the Red Dress, enjoy lunch and explore Boconnoc a little. We then swap groups in the afternoon.
This is going to be a magical day full of creativity and a fabulous meeting of likeminded people. We do hope you can join us.
