Meet Up – July 2026

Join The Fold Network for a relaxed evening of conversation, community, and inspiration.

We bring together self-employed women, freelancers, business owners, and side-hustlers to share ideas, support one another, and build meaningful relationships — the kind that help you grow both personally and professionally.

Whether you’re brand new to The Fold or a regular face, you’ll be welcomed into a friendly, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are.

Are you ready to switch your brain off and embrace your inner child?

Join artist Becky Prinn for an evening of connection, community and exploration.

Becky sells and licenses her work for stationery, textiles and greeting cards.  At the heart of Becky’s practice is having fun, letting go and embracing your childlike self.

Becky invites you to switch off from the daily grind and get back to basics, with creating simple marks.

There’s no expectation to be “artistic”. Being creative doesn't have to mean you’re “good at art”.

We’ll start on a shared tablecloth, loosening up and experimenting with making marks with different materials (think toothbrushes and sticks rather than fine brushes).

Becky will then give a short denotation of how she uses collage in some of her artworks.

There will then be opportunity to create your own piece. Spray, splash, rip and stick. And most importantly, let go, and be that 5 year old again.

7:15pm - 9:00pm – Becky's workshop

This isn’t just a creative workshop. It’s an opportunity to meet brilliant women, exchange ideas, and build relationships that last beyond the room.

This isn't just a networking event. It's a space to be seen, heard and supported by women who get what it's like to run your own business.

Join us for an evening of good vibes, meaningful connections and community.

The Fold is a collaborative community for self-employed and freelance women in Leeds. 

It's a ready-made support system. A roomful of women in your corner, cheering you on (and picking you up when you fall). Down-to-earth chat about real business and real life and everything in between.

No awkward small talk. No feeling weird about “competitors”. No secret handshakes. And definitely no breakfast meetings.
