Pink Stitch Workshops
Pink Stitch 2025 is a free workshop series for women with lived experience of breast cancer.
Across six creative sessions, you’ll work with award-winning textile artist Emily Jo Gibbs to create a personal textile portrait that reflects your journey.
Whether you’re an experienced maker or have never picked up a needle and thread before, you are welcome. These workshops are designed for all abilities — offering a gentle, empowering way to explore personal stories, reconnect with creativity, and find strength in community.
Pink Stitch is part of a wider movement to inspire women across the UK to check themselves regularly, talk openly about breast health, and know they are not alone.
Together, we are stitching creativity into a powerful campaign for early detection and women’s wellbeing.
