About

The tablecloth serves as a common grounding thread where people come together, share and converse over food or drink, resulting in a patchwork of stories. This workshop provides participants with a safe space to share their stories and weave them into a handcrafted, quilted tapestry.

The act of embroidery is a therapeutic shared activity. This practice is reminiscent of Dorcas Clubs and Societies, embedded into Caribbean communities since the 19th century and intended to bring women together through textiles as a network for social and economic change.

Participants are encouraged to embrace any mistakes that may occur and steer away from perfection. The event is intended as a haven away from the added pressures of everyday life that women and those of the global majority are often subject to.
