In this workshop, participants are invited to join artist and designer Desirée Hammen to change the narrative, challenge social norms and break taboos through designing their own piece of radical embroidery.
As a workshop assistant, your role is to prepare materials, prepare the space, take care of ticketing, be there during the workshop and clean up.
Don't hesitate to print this assistant checklist and have it with you on the day of workshop!
Here is some information about ticketing when you are a workshop assistant.
