Comfort

Every woman has a story about their breasts. From prepubescent hopes and dreams to the joys and frustrations of breastfeeding. From the realities of old age to sexualisation, to operations for health and transgender women’s feminisation. These are women’s stories of pleasure, embarrassment, pain, joy, and comfort.

Comfort, Thursday 9th March, 2pm to 4pm, Free, Women only* 

(this workshop is also happening at 10am to 12pm book here)

This project aims to share experiences to celebrate our bodies, building self-esteem, confidence and knowledge.

During the workshop we will make embroidered artworks on the theme of breasts. No sewing experience is necessary. Your artwork will be included in a large embroidered quilt that will be toured in exhibitions across the UK, including at Glasgow Women’s Library.  

This workshop is facilitated by Lois Blackburn.
