WORKSHOPS AREA
Learn mosaic with dionne ible (qemamu mosaics)

Explore the creative process of mosaic and make your own African-inspired take-home square mural with artist Dionne Ible. Choose from a selection of templates or even design your own image, just stick and go! An array of brightly coloured tiles will be provided – all pre-cut and safe for small fingers to use.

Mosaic is the ideal way to spend some time relaxing whilst creating something unique for your home or loved one. Give it a try!

THE AFRICAN MARKET Stalls
A selection of the most talented designers from africa and beyond and inspired by african cultures

The African Market showcases original and ethical fashion, accessories, jewellery, shoes as well as Arts and Crafts, homeware, natural beauty products, books, music, arts and more. Local and international charities are also represented, promoting their actions and raising awareness but also funds by selling goods.

More than an exhibition and trade space, The African Market is a place of curiosity attracting an eclectic mix of people including families, young people, students and adults, and a networking platform both for traders and interested visitors, connecting amateurs, professionals and passionates.

And to complete the atmosphere, delicious African and Caribbean food!
