Sewing Café – Springtime, birds, freedom…

Open Gallery :: In our gallery Galerie nEUROPA we not only present exhibitions of contemporary photographers with a connection to Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, but the space is also open for open meetings, coffee rounds, games evenings, workshops, seminars, think tanks, and so on.

You are cordially invited to the weekly sewing café. Here you can chat, get creative together and create beautiful things! Participation is free of charge. We provide a few needles, yarns and pieces of fabric. If you like, you can of course bring your own materials! Experience does not matter.

Felting – all in all a well-rounded affair!

Felting is actually quite simple. A felt ball is a simple object that is quick to make and can be used in many different ways as a craft or decorative item – there are no limits to your imagination! We can think of: key rings, small dolls, mobiles, jewellery details… and much more!

Background

Since autumn 2022, Yuliya Firsova, a teacher from Odesa, has been inviting people to the sewing café in the nEUROPA gallery. Together with other women who have fled Ukraine, they have created a place where they could unwind, talk, sing, share their problems and experience support and warmth.

Das Projekt wird gefördert durch das Staatsministerium für Soziales und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt. Diese Maßnahme wird mitfinanziert mit Steuermitteln auf Grundlage des vom Sächsischen Landtag beschlossenen Haushaltes im Rahmen des Förderprogramms »Wir für Sachsen«.
