Embroidery and quilt-making workshop for people affected by sexual harassment, assault or violence.
About
Artist and designer Ellie (aka, El Bras) joins Molly and Sian from Connected Against Sexual Violence for an embroidery and quilt-making workshop at Bermondsey Project Space.
With Ellie’s guidance participants will learn how to embroider patterns and patches to produce a large quilt incorporating the whole groups designs. There will also be space for people to reflect and make artwork individually.
All materials will be provided but if you have any fabrics that you would like to embroider or add to the quilt then please bring these along
The workshop will run from 3-6pm and will be followed by drinks and a chance to chat and meet people.
This afternoon will be an opportunity for anyone affected by sexual violence to come along and connect through creativity. There is no pressure to share anything about your experiences that you do not want to in these workshops, the main goal is just to create a space where people can feel supported.
If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to contact us.

This workshop will be run by Connected Against Sexual Violence. This collective is about creating a network between those who have experienced Sexual violence, assault or harassment. This is a place where we can build connections with those who have had similar experiences whilst being in a creative space. We think it is important to create these networks of support. Also, that we respect each other and know that all our experiences, triggers and processes after Sexual Violence may be different. Please be mindful of this during our workshops and respect that each other’s boundaries may differ when talking about sexual violence. We aim for our workshops to be a warm and supportive environment. However, if you feel overwhelmed or triggered during our workshops, please let us know. Our organisers Sian and Molly will be present throughout the day for anyone that needs us.
