Book your place for our online Creative Wellbeing Café

We’re All Creative in Our Own Way.

Patchwork People offers creative sessions that support women’s wellbeing in rural communities.

Whether it's visual art, textiles, photography or beyond, we use creativity to help women feel more connected to themselves, and to others. All of our sessions are calm, supportive, and down to earth.

You don’t need to be an artist.
You don’t need to explain your story.
You’re welcome here, just as you are.

Our Philosophy

At Patchwork People, we believe creativity is a powerful way to reconnect with ourselves and each other. We value process over perfection, listening over fixing, and small steps over quick fixes. We create calm, caring spaces where women feel supported and seen.

Creativity

We use creative expression as a tool for self-discovery, healing and growth.

Community

We create warm, welcoming spaces where rural women feel supported and never alone.

Connection

When we make together, we share space, and a sense that we’re not alone in the world.

Reaching Rural Communities

We choose to work in rural communities because women here are too often overlooked, under-resourced, and left without the creative opportunities that others take for granted.

We believe every woman deserves space to connect, create, and feel supported close to home. Rural life can be isolating, but creative community brings people together in powerful, practical ways.

By bringing workshops to local spaces, we reduce barriers to participation and help women feel seen, supported and part of something bigger—right where they are.
