#177 Needlework, disability & oral history – an update on my studies

In this episode I’m sharing more about an oral history project I’ll be running this year – I want to find out how people with disabilities, like myself, used needlework to explore a sense of place and heritage during lockdown. I’m excited to explore topics like resilience in isolation, material and making vs consumption, connection with family stories and more.

This of course relates to my Stitching Together project, which you can find out more about here: https://griefmagic.com/stitching/

Thank you, as always, for listening!

Love,

Yarrow

Hi, I’m Yarrow

I’m a maker, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland. 

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
