A weaving and storytelling workshop with artist Kandace Siobhan Walker. Come and learn the basic techniques to make a small fishing net, as we listen to the sharing of Geechee folk stories. This workshop is free and tickets can be booked via the Chapter website.

Kandace Siobhan Walker is a Canadian-born Jamaican Gullah-Geechee writer and filmmaker. She is an editor at bath magg.

This event is part of the Call the Waves public programme.
