Gather Community Threads - Jess Kavanagh
You are invited to join a creative, inclusive, and eco-conscious workshop series exploring textiles, natural dyeing, and community storytelling. Over the course of 9 months, we will forage for plants, create natural dyes, experiment with embroidery and textiles, and work together to craft a meaningful group artefact, all culminating in a final communal dining event. Open to adults of all genders, backgrounds, and levels of experience. We welcome beginners and seasoned makers alike. No experience needed, just curiosity, creativity, and community spirit!
What to bring: Comfortable clothes, closed-toe shoes, a water bottle, and an open mind! We’ll supply all the art materials and sketchbooks. If you have any images, objects, or memories you’d like to bring for inspiration, feel free to!Please let us know if you have any access needs or questions ahead of time . We’re here to make this a welcoming and nourishing experience for everyone.
This is the first of a number of further events - dates to be confirmed after this first workshop.
