THE WAIST BEAD WORKSHOP

In 2022 I was commissioned by Heritage Crafts and Creative Lives to host a workshop surrounding waist beads.

I used this to create an opportunity for women to group and start an open and honest conversation around how we feel about our bodies, finding strength in vulnerability and providing support for each other.

Whilst making waist beads, a traditional African body jewellery, participants will have a discussion about body positivity, how to define it for ourselves as individuals and use our waist beads to help us heal our body image.​

​

The workshop is currently only available to women and girls to keep the safe space as the conversation can be quite sensitive.
