Hand Embroidery is the art of adding embellishment to textiles using decorative stitching with needle and thread.
Historically, people have sought enriching experiences and formed their own sense of community by gathering in groups such as Knitting and Sewing Bees to craft and socialise.
No experience is necessary to take part and this activity is all about having fun and discovering the possibilities of collage and zine-making together with likeminded people.
All materials will be provided.

Spaces at this event are reserved for people with marginalised gender identities.
Our work supports this group in particular
1) Due to the lack of existing spaces and dedicated services, which places them at increased risk of experiencing loneliness, isolation and social anxiety.
2) To address the gender imbalance within the creative economies.
Our community is an inclusive and supportive space for all nonbinary, agender and gender variant people and all women (trans, intersex and cis).
Self-identification is at the sole discretion of each individual. While we do not police gender identity, this workshop is not open to cisgender men.
