Coat of Hopes - Gathering Stories workshop
SUNDAY 29 June
4pm-6pm
Join us for this unique occasion to celebrate people’s hope.
Ask me where I'm going
Ask me what is my purpose
The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork coat on an ongoing walking pilgrimage through the UK towards the end of the climate and ecological emergency.
It has been made by and worn and walked by many hundreds of people on a journey on foot of around 1500 miles so far. It carries people's hopes for the places they live, sewn into the blanket patches of which it is made.
All who encounter it are invited to wear it and (whilst the Coat song is sung) take a moment to be conscious of themselves at this time, standing in connection with all those who have made or worn the Coat before them and with the life and land it has witnessed on its way.
The Coat of Hopes is coming to Folkestone and we’re celebrating this special event with a series of workshop guided by artist Deborah Crofts.
This is your opportunity to add your story and take it on a beautiful and moving journey across the UK.
In this free workshop you will have a chance to share your story with others in an intimate, friendly, and inclusive atmosphere. This will later become part of the Coat. You will also be able to hear about past stories and see the Coat in person (and even try it on!).
Spaces are limited so register early.
