Every Woman Café is a monthly gathering designed to provide information, support, hope, and an opportunity to share experiences with like-minded individuals. We will have speakers covering various topics and aim to collaborate with local projects and initiatives
6th Sept: Nicky May - Fortunes on Fabric
As part of the Every Woman Cafe join BA artist in residence Nicky May Bolland for a sewing workshop exploring the fortune-telling potential of our bodies. Using embroidery and bead-work to interpret traditional and invented fortune telling guides, we'll hold space for the diverse ways in which our bodies provide us with information about our personal futures and how we have and continue to navigate those experiences.
We will build a safe and inclusive space within the workshop with invitations, but no expectation, to share our experiences and reflect through creative processes.
