Join us back at the museum for this month's informal creative workshop of stitching, chatting and sharing, inspired by PHM’s collections.

Create and share textile responses to the topics explored, using techniques taught by artist Helen Mather.

This month:
We will be linking to Mental Health Awareness Week 2022. We will come together in person, to share ideas and create in stitch, how we can reduce loneliness and encourage connection with people and our community. We will be making sensory keyrings with messages of support and understanding that reach out to people. The finished keyrings can be given out as gifts, as everyday reminders of the need to connect with each other.
