Art and Craft Project
Through arts and crafts,we provide a place for all people to discover the emotions and experiences of childbirth.
[Ito no wa]
This is a dialogue meeting where a small
number of people untangle various tangled threads by themselves and with other people who are with them.
Mothers who have given birth by caesarean section,
those who have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth,
those who are undergoing infertility treatment, mothers in their teens,
Women who want to give birth in the future, please feel free to come.
While listening to each other's stories, there was a realization and it makes sense to yourself.
A meeting to talk about "feelings" that you felt, not each other's "opinions or judgement"
Would you like to speak in a space where no one will judge you?
Fee:1,000 yen / maximum 5 people (about 2 hours)
[Nagara Taguru Project]
One stitch to change the world
The beginning of this activity was when I talked to an Irish midwife in 2020.
Her baby died shortly after birth.
“Mothers who had stillbirths and miscarriages just gathered and sewed,
and talked about various thoughts in the process,
I used to snuggle up with her. I put them together and made a big quilt and hung it in the city. I heard.
From then, I wanted to do something, and started reading books by craftivists Sarah and Betsy.
Thoughts came to my mind.
Every time I hear from various people how their mothers feel when they give birth,
have a miscarriage, or have a stillbirth,
Do other people know this feeling?
How far could you talk about your feelings with your partner?
When your child grows up, will you listen to your mother's feelings?
So many thoughts came to my mind.
Choose from several colors based on the image of the color when the mother gave birth,
I hope you have time to talk about childbirth, pregnancy, and other trivial stories while sewing together.
I think that each child's thoughts about childbirth are different.
All experiences are good, of course, just the birth that left an impression.
I would like to express the colors of various feelings through Sashiko, which is also a Japanese tradition.
Cost: 2,500 yen (including materials) / maximum 5 people (about 2 hours)
