 n some basic hand sewing and embroidery techniques to design and create y

 ake a one of a kind accessory!\\nThis session will be facilitated by Tian
 a. Tiana Esparon is a Greenwich-based designer\\, stylist\\, and maker kn
 own for her vibrant\\, sustainable crochet accessories made using upcycle
 d materials.\\nA graduate of Kingston School of Art\\, Tiana has collabor

 te the stone firepit in the room. The room we will be using has plenty of
  soft furnishings and seating.\\nAbout Touch Grass\\nTouch Grass is an ou
 tdoor community for queer women\\, trans and non-binary people of colour.
 \\nWe are committed to fostering community growth through outdoor gatheri
 ngs and wellness-focused trips that encourage us to rekindle our relation
 ship with nature. Our immersive experiences go beyond relaxation — they
 're about empowerment\\, healing\\, and forging meaningful connections.\\
 nOur vision is for queer people of colour to see the outdoors as a space 
 where we belong. A 2020 report by Friends of the Earth found that nearly 
 40% of people from minority ethnic backgrounds in England live in the mos
 t green space-deprived neighbourhoods\\, compared with only 14% of white 
 people — and that people from minority ethnic backgrounds are significa
 ntly less likely to spend time in the countryside than white people. We w
 ant to change this. We deserve joyful\\, safe access to the emotional wel
 l-being and physical health benefits of nature too.\\nWe believe creativi
 ty and nature go hand in hand\\, which is why most of our events encourag
 e you to embrace nature and your inner creative spirit.\\nFor any enquiri
