The Thread that Connects Us all | Pascale Spall | TEDxLewisham

Pascale is deeply passionate about textiles and the role they play in our human story. She believes that stitching is an innate human skill that facilitates deep connection with our inner landscape enabling meditation, empowerment, clarity, healing and easy connection with those around us. Through understanding the materials in our hands we are better able to understand the interconnection of all things and appreciate that textiles are an inextricable part of us.

Textiles are ubiquitous! Mostly going unnoticed and uncelebrated, we need them as much as we need food. By honouring & revering our everyday working textiles as well as our special textiles, we can really consider the part they play in our lives; emotionally and practically, giving us permission to really understand where they are from, how they are made and who has made them. Pascale majored in weaving, further studying pattern cutting, tailoring and couture dressmaking. She has worked in costume for film & TV, couture bridal and occasion wear. Pascale has been running 'Stag & Bow' a Haberdashery & Textile studio in Forest Hill, London, UK for 12 years, hosting many textile workshops and community events.
