Stitches of Intention – Medicinal Plants Between Magic and Science

This workshop explores the relationship between plants, the body, and healing.

Drawing on both traditional knowledge and modern perspectives, the session introduces locally growing medicinal plants, their historical uses, and the beliefs that have surrounded them.

Participants will connect with plants as cultural and symbolic forms engaging their touch, smell, and storytelling.

Create a small embroidered herbal pouch. The process is slow and attentive, encouraging reflection.

Coordinating with our current exhibition All This Useless Beauty exploring themes of memory, inheritance, and the layering of lived experience.

Agnieszka Wanowicz is a local artist whose practice lies within old folk traditions and connects strongly with nature.

Welcoming and inclusive space, giving participants confidence to create.
