F*ck Your Womb: A Textile Art Session

The Amulet Gallery

This session invites you to explore the landscape of the womb—real or remembered, present or absent—as a place of mystery, memory, emotion, and meaning. Whether your relationship with it holds love, grief, frustration, ambivalence, reverence, or release, all feelings are welcome here. Working with textile art, thread and fabric become a language beyond words. Guided gently by intuition rather than instruction, you’ll stitch, layer, and assemble a piece that reflects your own inner story. There are no rules, no expectations—only space to listen, feel, and express whatever arises.
