MORE INFO

This is the second in a series of five workshops for People of Colour led by Keng Keng Watt, which will use communal quilt making as a way to explore practices of collective resting. The overarching focus of the sessions is on recreating feelings of sanctuary, safety, and ways of finding peace and collective healing in a racist society 

This session will focus on choosing the media, fabrics, shapes, and scents to make the patches of the collective quilt. The materials will be up-cycled and discarded fabrics. During the session, participants will be given time and space to chat as they sew, stitch, mend, weave, knit, embroider, print and paint. No previous craft experience is required. The session will be informal and relaxed. 

People are invited to attend all or any of the workshops. There is some continuity but they also work as stand-alone events.

The sessions are open to all ages though under 18s need to be accompanied by an adult who is also a POC.
