Are you interested in joining in a FREE embroidery workshop? Open to all women, including trans and non-binary people, this fun and relaxing workshop will see you create an embroidery of a breast. If you choose, your work can be included in a large, collaborative quilt.
Absolutely no experience is needed, and all materials will be provided. There will also be light refreshments. There will be opportunities to discuss subjects like breast health, harassment, breast feeding, transition, diversity and positive body image. See more information about Lois Blackburn and their work here: https://loisblackburnartist.uk/current-work/
There are two sessions planned. The first at The Infirmary Museum on Monday 15 May. The second at George Marshall Medical Museum on Tuesday 16 May. Find event details on Eventbrite:- https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beauty-and-the-breast-session-two-tickets-629069693387

The final artworks will be carefully stitched together by Lois, and exhibited at: The Festival of Quilts at the NEC, Glasgow Women’s Library, Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health, Blythe House Hospice in Derbyshire, Worcestershire Medical Museums and on-line.
