Subject and Association DescriptionCreated as part of the Transformations project during GWL's 30th anniversary commemorations:
https://womenslibrary.org.uk/event/transformations-risograph-workshop:
As we mark our 30th anniversary we are inviting our regular event participants, learners, volunteers and friends to join us for a creative risograph printing workshop to explore and share what difference GWL has made to our lives. Artist and facilitator Helen de Main, who has worked with GWL many times over the years, will be facilitating a relaxed online workshop, supporting and encouraging participants to explore and share how GWL has benefited them, and to create a postcard-sized print to express this in colour, shapes and writing.

Glasgow Women’s Library (GWL) celebrated its thirtieth birthday in 2021. Since its creation GWL has helped and enriched the lives of countless women and non-binary people. A two year study was carried out at the University of Strathclyde exploring this impact and the transformative power GWL has had over the years. This blog includes more information on the academics who carried out the research as well as an interview with them.
