PARKSIDE THREADS
Sewing, mending, making and bringing the Parkside community together through stitching.
We are going to be running a series of sewing and textile workshops for Parkside residents of all ages. We want to engage participants to help shape the activities we provide. Our approach combines creativity with sustainability. We want to encourage repair, reuse and community-led learning. We want to support participants not only to develop practical skills but also to shape and lead activities.
This project has been made possible thanks to the Parkside Community Fund. Lewisham Local, in partnership with Peabody Community Foundation.
