Unwind, get creative, and explore the fascinating world of stem cells in this unique embroidery workshop.
Led by scientists from the Centre for Gene Therapy and Regenerative Medicine at King’s College London, this session will introduce you to the role of stem cells in health and future therapies - all while you stitch research images into beautiful embroidered artwork.
Crafting and creativity have been shown to support mental wellbeing, reduce stress, and even improve gut health by calming the nervous system. So grab a cup of tea, a biscuit (or two!), and enjoy a relaxing evening of science, stitching, and self-care.
No prior embroidery experience is needed. All materials will be provided, and you are welcome to bring your own t-shirt or tote bag to embellish.
Share your creations with #StitchNStem and tag @KCLStemCells on social media!
CENTRE FOR GENE THERAPY & REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Based in Guy’s Hospital, the Centre acts as a focus for cutting-edge stem cell research taking place across King’s and its partner NHS Trusts, as part of King’s Health Partners. Their researchers are interested in how stem cells interact with their local environment, or niche. They believe that an understanding of these interactions is important for developing effective cell therapies in the clinic.
