4600 Gifts
Craftspace invites the people of Birmingham to hand-make gifts for the 4600 athletes competing in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games
About this event
4600 Gifts is an invitation to you, your friends and your neighbours to join in welcoming athletes to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Together, we will make 4600 hand-embellished gifts, upcycling locally-sourced materials into messages of welcome, made with love in Brum.
Join in one of our workshops hosted by Moseley Road Baths to turn a simple blank gift template into a one-off, beautiful object that will be treasured forever by our visitors from the Commonwealth Nations and Territories.
You don’t need any crafting experience or know-how to take part; we’ll provide everything you need to wrap, knot and stitch. Your finished gift and personal message will be presented to a visiting athlete when they arrive for the Games in July.
Your gift will carry a message of welcome from one hand to another, marking a special moment in time for Birmingham. We’d love you to be part of it!
Birmingham 2022 Festival presents 4600 Gifts produced by Craftspace, generously supported by Arts Council England and The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
