Stitching for Community Activism workshop
Attributes
1.30-3pm | Free, just drop in
Stitching for Community Activism is a hands-on embroidery workshop led by Welsh textile artist and researcher Ophelia Dos Santos. Rooted in community and heritage, Ophelia uses embroidery as a powerful tool for storytelling, activism, and collective care. Participants will explore how needle and thread can be used not only to mend fabric, but also to mend histories, amplify voices, and stitch together shared visions for change.
No prior sewing experience is needed – just bring your stories, ideas, and willingness to learn. This is a drop-in session, you do not need to attend the full two hours.
