MORE INFO

This is the fourth 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 

In this session participants will continue making patches to add to the collective quilt but will also have opportunity to blend essential oils into comforting fragrances to go alongside the rest and comfort of the quilt. These potions will then be infused into the individual patches, giving an added layer of memory and meaning to the quilt. These blends will then be infused into the individual patches, adding another layer of memory and meaning to the quilt.

No previous craft experience is required. The session will be informal and relaxed. The sessions are open to all ages though under 18s need to be accompanied by an adult who is also a POC.
