Days of Commoning
11-12 June @hubsleaford
Join us for a weekend of commoning, exploring ideas of community and co-operation through craft and nature-based activities that help us to place a higher value on creative, gardening and conservation skills. https://t.co/CPi56oq5h3

Two brass tokens designed by @AliceMc_Lean based on drawings by @AllotmentCat plot holders at the Walsall Road Allotments in #Birmingham - part of a project conceived and delivered by Alice McLean and curator Justine Boussard for #WeAreCommoners - have now been acquired by @BM_AG
https://t.co/o5PeQVefu7 Our blog records the work of the @craftingcommons network which brings together makers, curators and academics to creatively interrogate intersections between craft practices and emergent academic research on the ideas, stories and politics of the commons.
To celebrate the publication of the #WeAreCommoners catalogue and the opening of the exhibition @BarnsleyCivic tomorrow, there's still time to get 10% off catalogues in our online shop with code CAT10.
