The Red Tent Project Workshop & Parade

Experience the Red Tent Project tapestry and add your blessing, prayer or story to the tapestry and meet the artist, Lesley Hawley.


The red tent is a material gathering of histories and blessings.The people who have participated in this project have placed their blessings, prayers and stories into this tapestry...some of the stories have been shouted during parades, some sewn on & shared in small circles and some stories have been whispered so quietly that only the fabric knows them. You are invited to experience and contribute to this living tapestry. You do not have to be a woman or even an artist to participate... The Red Tent Project is for everyone!
