The Christmas period can be a painful time for many as we remember loved ones who will no longer be sitting with us around the table. This workshop will give us the opportunity to create something precious and so remember and honour their memory and legacy. Angela will gently guide you through the process.

It also includes a 15-minute zoom or video call with each participant prior to the day, to discuss the inclusion of personal materials, so that the day is as meaningful as possible for you. Angela will be providing needles, threads, some vintage and botanically dyed fabric, as well as some other embellishments to use on the day. This is not a therapy group, but a gentle, creative, inclusive and supportive space. Only 8 places available.
