Connect the Buds: Vessels of Care Workshop Series - Part 1

This is an event desigend for 18-25 year olds.

Stitch & Co-Create Care Workshop - Vessels of Receiving Care

Exploring personal and collective meanings of receiving care through contemplative slow-stitching, gentle dialogue and co-creating symbolic vessel artworks that hold shared memories, reflections, and insights.

Event Description:

In this workshop, Amy Chen, a London-based Taiwanese textile artist and vessel maker, will introduce us to the therapeutic act of slow-stitching as a mindful practice for self-care and contemplation. Using the preserving function of vessel as a symbol of protection, safe space and embodied care, we will stitch on pre-punched vessel cards while simultaneously reflecting on and noting down our memories of being deeply cared for by others and by our environment. Between stitching activities, we will partner up to share our reflections and co-create the interiors of our vessels based on these conversations. By the end, each of us will have a tangible vessel artwork that symbolically holds our shared memories, dialogue, and perspectives on receiving care.
