Femigami workshop reviews

  • Rachel Prosser, Programme Manager, Bishopsgate Institute:

    “Femigami workshops have the unique quality of being playful, while also getting to the heart of significant issues. Emily created such a strong sense of community and openness in a short space of time.”

    “Participants were able to have much needed conversations about sex, sexuality, gender and anatomy, that people normally shy away from. And on top of that, the origami outcomes were brilliant - really high quality, and very accessible.”

  • Helen Heppel, MidSoc Social Events Secretary, Canterbury Christ Church University:

    “Emily came to our MidSoc conference and ran two Femigami workshops for us. It was absolutely brilliant, not only was it an empowering activity that created rich discussion but also an activity filled with laughter and fun.”

    “Would highly recommend Emily and Femigami. It was amazing!”

  • League of Ladies WI, Glossop, Derbyshire:

    “A great last night for our final monthly meeting of 2020. We were joined by Emily from Femigami who taught us to make some feminist origami with a little festive twist thrown in for good measure!”

    “Thanks to everyone who took part, and a huge thanks to Emily, it was great fun!”

  • Edith Johnson, Director & co-founder, Be Her Lead:

    “Femigami delivered a workshop as part of our virtual coffee series for female teachers, and it's been one of the highlights of the series so far.”

    “Emily was wonderful at creating a space where it feels okay to be silly and playful, as well as being able to discuss topics that we usually avoid. Our teachers loved the workshop and are really excited to share the ideas with the young people they work with!”

  • Jane Trueman, Activities Manager, University of Sussex Students’ Union

    “Femigami delivered a wonderful workshop for our students, providing a safe and inclusive space for them to take a break from their studies and focus on their wellbeing through relaxing origami and engaging discussions”.

    “It was really popular and received excellent feedback. I highly recommend this workshop and will certainly be booking again!”

  • Joanna Rosenberg, Community Engagement Manager, Brighton & Hove Libraries:

    “Femigami delivered some brilliant workshops at Brighton & Hove libraries for Stress Awareness Month. Participants enjoyed making origami hearts, envelopes and other paper creations.”

    “Emily leading the workshop was very skilled at creating a fun, friendly and supportive space that was open to all.”

    “She also recommended books exploring reducing stress and taking care of your mental health. We look forward to having more Femigami workshops soon!”

  • Charlie Bishop, Director, MRKH Connect Charity:

    “We had an amazing virtual workshop with Femigami today. It was fun, chatty and even though none of us had tried origami before it was easy to follow and we all just had a laugh, everyone loved it.”

    “Would highly recommend and we are planning to arrange another event later in the year. Thank you Emily!”

  • Dr Roxanne Douglas, Centre for the Study of Women & Gender, University of Warwick:

    “Femigami made for a fabulous afternoon, Emily was thoughtful about the type of event we needed, sensitive to embodiment and wellbeing, and not least fun to have host our workshop session! Thank you, Emily.”
