So-Sew W.I

Call Directions Contact the organisation

So-Sew W.I We aim to keep all of the traditional values of the W.I, but to introduce a modern, 21st century twist. Inspiring women since 2014. Come and join us!

Meeting: 1st Thu of the month (2nd in Jan / May)

Time: 7-9pm

We would like all ages to come and join us and we pride ourselves on learning from the experiences of others and who have a passion to keep the local village community alive. If you're looking for something different to do, want to learn a new skill, share conversations or campaign on issues in the local area that matter to you, then get in touch and come to one of our meetings. Our meetings are informal and you’re welcome to bring along a glass of fizz and for the designated drivers, we offer a lovely cuppa. We are not your stereotypical Jam and Jerusalem. The W.I celebrated its centenary in 2015 and currently has 212,000 members in over 6,600 WIs, so what are you waiting for?

💜 Kintsugi - making broken things beautiful 💜

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Kintsugi workshop and a special thank you Amelia Jane Gilding for introducing us to this beautiful Japanese art form (we missed you Georgina!)

We loved seeing everyone get creative and discover how broken pottery can be transformed into something imperfect and beautiful.

At So-Sew WI we want to bring a range of affordable activities. Because everyone is feeling the pintch lately.

Thank you for another wonderful evening of creativity, learning and So-Sew sisterhood.

Ahhh, we just love this... 💜🤍💚

As the author of this post I can only start with one word… WOW!

Kate is as bubbly and gorgeous as ever, bounced into our meeting with such vibrant energy that was infectious. Kate turned a beautifully create activity into a wonderful learning experience, full of laughter and love! Kate supported our members enabling them to create some fabulous Autumnal decorations… pumpkins!

The members were so engaged and one visitor decided to join! Well what does that say about our WI? It says that we are welcoming and somewhere you want to belong!
Thank you to Kate for an awesome experience and thank you to our committee for putting together a brilliant programme and to our members and guests for their continued support.

Women together grow together ❤️ ,
