Discover the expression of African design in this illustrated talk with Adaku Parker, as she immerses you into her world of ‘Sewing with African Wax Prints’. You will learn about the step-by-step process of creating a wide range of stylish pieces from wardrobe classics to must-have accessories as well as experiencing up-close a few of Adaku’s raw fabrics, patterns and finished projects.

As part of your multicultural evening, SAINT OGUN founders, Nic and Rico, will take you through the story of their Nigerian and Caribbean inspired rum, followed by a tasting and demonstration of their signature cocktails, which you will have the chance to recreate yourself!
