Soft Support: Sew & Chat

 

Sew & chat with Gal Leshem were 2-hr drop in workshops in October and November 2024, open to anyone interested in creating textile artworks from pre-loved materials.

 

The artist invites adults in caring roles to join her and ALL are welcome!

 

A collective textile artwork was created over the course of 6 weeks utilising fabrics to bring attention to the love, care and support systems in our lives.

The final artwork will be exhibited in our libraries and Canons House & Grounds.
