Theme: Embroidery and Stitching
Location: AWRC
Day and Time: Every Friday 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Starting November)

This November, the AWRC along with Seductive Stitch is organising a special series of embroidery workshops designed for women who have experienced domestic abuse. Over the course of four sessions, we will explore the calming, therapeutic art of stitching.

Embroidery is more than just a craft—its repetitive motions can help you focus on the present moment and easing stress.

Session Details:

• Week 1: Introduction to stitching with starting and back stitch
• Week 2: Learn the delicate french knot and satin stitch
• Week 3: Explore the rose stitch and embellishment techniques
• Week 4: Finishing your embroidery and backing it for display

Each session is a safe, supportive space where you can learn new skills, create something beautiful, and connect with other women who share similar experiences. Whether you are new to embroidery or have experience, these workshops offer a creative outlet that encourages healing, reflection, and connection.
