Recovery Devon are collaborating with local artist, Hayley Watson, and the Rising Women group, to offer a Phoenix Wing creating art workshop. This workshop, as part of Rising Women, is open to anyone who identifies as a women.  

Hayley will be facilitating the creation of a set of Phoenix wings to symbolise the strength it takes to rise up after a period of darkness.  

Each participant will be crafting 2 wings out of different textures and materials, creating them around the idea of loneliness, recovery and rising.  

Participants can write their story, a quote, lyrics, draw something significant or use paint, colour and textiles to express themselves.  

One feather will be used for the art installation and the other can be taken home.  

The wings will then be displayed throughout the rest of the event, allowing participants voices, stories and experiences to be shared and seen.
