Workshops
We invite you to join one of our workshops
We run regular workshops led by experienced artists and crafters where you are invited to come together to design and stitch your own individual squares to be included in the quilt. In the making, we offer a safe and supportive space to meet, to talk, to mark and remember all these young lives. Stitching the children's names is an act of bearing witness, and by coming together in solidarity as a creative community with collective purpose, we will honour and remember every child.
All levels of experience (and none!) are welcome, and all materials and practical guidance are provided. If you would like to join a workshop please check upcoming dates and locations below. And if you are interested in hosting a workshop please do get in touch.
