About this Event
For thousands of years, simple cloth shrouds have been used to wrap our loved ones with care, dignity and love. As more people seek personal and gentle farewells, this quiet tradition is making a gentle comeback.
In this hands-on workshop you'll explore how textiles can hold memory and meaning through conversation, drawing, cutting and stitching. During this workshop you will reflect on grief, remembrance and how the act of making something with your hands can help us approach death and loss with tenderness.
All materials provided. No sewing experience needed whatsoever.
This session is for adults only.
Spaces are limited so please pre-book your FREE space in advance.
