SUMMARY:Tending to My Grief: Solar Printing in the Feelgood Factory Garden
DESCRIPTION:We invite people who’ve experienced grief to join us for a 
 morning of conversation and print making. We will guide people through the 
 process of making solar prints with materials collected from the garden. 
 There will also be moments of reflection and conversion about grief whilst 
 we make.\n\n**Please note that this workshop takes place in the Feelgood 
 Factory Community Garden**\n\nFeelgood Factory Community Garden: The Marion 
 Square\, L30 5QA\nWhat3Words: alone.blend.judge\nDue to one-way system\, 
 access the garden by driving down The Marian Way & turning onto Marion 
 Square\, behind Iceland (137 The Marian Way\, L30 3TE)\nFree\, off street 
 parking on The Marian Way click here\n\nAfter experiencing loss\, we (Chris 
 Alton and Emily Simpson) both noticed a lack of opportunities for these 
 conversations. By sharing our experiences through collaborative art 
 making\, we aim to create spaces where those living with loss can feel less 
 alone and find community. For this series of workshops we are thinking 
 about how we tend* to our grief through creative activities. Sessions will 
 be hosted in Netherton Library and Feel Good Factory’s garden.\n\nThe 
 session is free\, all materials and equipment will be provided. No 
 knowledge or previous experience of solar printing is required. There will 
 be practical support and worksheets to guide the creative process.\n\n*Here 
 we mean ‘tend to’ in the sense of taking care of or paying attention to 
 someone or something\, such as tending to a garden.\n\nPlease be Aware:\n- 
 These are stand-alone workshops. You do not have to attend all three\, but 
 are welcome to do so\n- This workshop is for anyone who has experienced 
 grief and is ready to talk about it and hear from others\n- This event is 
 for ages 18  but parents and carers are welcome to bring those they look 
 after if this makes attending possible.\n-  The session will focus on our 
 experience of grief and living with loss rather than the details of a 
 person’s death. This is to avoid more distressing subject matter\n-  
 Whilst Chris and Emily have led many workshops like this\, they are not 
 trained counsellors and this is not a counselling session\n-  We ask 
 participants to be respectful and sensitive towards other people and their 
 experiences. We recognise that taking part in an event like this requires 
 people to be vulnerable and so we ask participants to be mindful of this 
 and considerate of each other’s boundaries and the different stages of 
 grief we may be in.\n\nAccess: If you have any questions or access needs\, 
 please email hello@atthelibrary.co.uk . Feelgood Factory and Netherton 
 Library are both fully wheelchair accessible.\n \n\n
