A conversation series
sparked by Jessica Walsh
Hosted by Lisa Barrett and Lindsay Baker
A series of regular meetups which might include salon nights, guest speakers, workshops, or studio visits, usually limited to eight creative women*. We’ll wine** (or whatever you’re drinking), dine, and have casual conversations on a wide variety of topics relating to creativity, business and life.
If you’re a student or creative and would like to join us, you can browse our forthcoming events below, sign up to our mailing list, and find us on Twitter and Instagram. Drop us a line by email to reserve a place at an event - it’s free and reservations are first come, first served.
*The event welcomes those who define themselves as a woman. Our meetings should be inclusive and supportive spaces for all women (trans, intersex and cis) and all nonbinary, agender and gender variant people. Self-definition is at the sole discretion of that individual. If you are here it is because you feel that you are included and welcome by our gender inclusion policy. If you have any queries regarding our gender inclusion policy, please don’t hesitate to ask.
**The events are mainly held in a café environment and alcohol is entirely optional - it's a very laid back catch up over a soft drink, coffee, tea or a glass of wine/beer if you wish.
Rounding off 2019 with an excuse for festive sparkle and fizz.

First gathering of women in design in Birmingham. Increasing confidence in our community! Meet-up held at Yorks Bakery Café.
Numbers show that there's a very small percentage of women leading the creative industry. We believe we can change that through mentorship and championing others' work. We love the idea of casual salon nights to collaborate, meet and share ideas with other designers we identify with. So we got in touch with Jessica to bring Ladies, Wine & Design to Birmingham. Until parity exists, we believe events like these are essential.
