Ladies, Wine & Design: Creative Workshops, Talks & Networking Events
At LW&D, we host regular events to celebrate our local community of makers and designers. We wine, dine and have casual conversations on a wide variety of topics relating to creativity, business, and life. Our meetings are inclusive and supportive spaces for all (trans, intersex, cis and all non-binary, agender and gender variant people).
A nonprofit initiative with the goal to #EmpowerWomen
💪 Empowering the creative community in Southampton with accessible talks, workshops and events 🙌 hosted by @jazzyolive.me and @thatirvinegirl 👯♀️
We believe that all genders can be allies in our shared goal to #EmpowerWomen, and so, our meetings are gender-inclusive and supportive spaces for all. And as part of our mission to 'leave no creative behind', our events are (mostly) free o' charge** (and so's the wine!). We only ask that our guests respect the inclusive atmosphere and continue to engage in discussion, and idea generation, for the promotion of equal opportunities for female-identifying*** creatives.
* Booze is entirely optional, you can drink tea, coffee or soft drinks!
** Some events may require a small fee to cover material costs. There is also the option to donate when securing your ticket.
*** If you have any queries regarding our gender policy, please contact us.
Jessica Walsh started Ladies, Wine & Design in New York after doing a lot of thinking and reading on why only 3% of women in the creative industry are creative directors or in leadership positions. She believes we can change that through mentorship and championing each others work. We couldn't agree more, and so Ladies, Wine & Design Southampton was born.
