LIVE: Suffragette Hankies with Chila Kumari Singh Burman | Hospital Rooms Digital Art School

In 1912 a group of women suffragettes embroidered their names on to a hankie as an act of protest and solidarity. Chila will lead a session creating our own handkerchief designs inspired by personal heroes or heroines.

You will need:
*Handkerchief
*Paintbrushes
*Paint
*Coloured pens
*Printed images that inspire you (small enough to stick on to hankie)
Optional: Washi tape or needle & thread

Hospital Rooms is a London-based arts and mental health charity that radically transforms inpatient mental health settings with contemporary art.

While our usual work in mental health units is on hold, we have joined forces with internationally acclaimed artists to lead art workshops remotely from their studios and homes.

The artists leading these sessions have exhibited in many of the world's best galleries and have taught in some of the country's best art schools, including Royal Academy Schools, Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins. Over the coming weeks they will introduce you to their creative practice, help guide you to create your own artworks and answer questions along the way.

These workshops are for inpatient mental health units, as well as people accessing community mental health services and the wider public.

So grab a sketchbook, dust off your pencils, and get creative using #DigitalArtSchool​​. We would love to see your artworks, so please share them with us using the hashtag #HRDigitalArtSchool​​ or by tagging us on Instagram (@_hospitalrooms) or Twitter (@hospital_rooms)!
This project has been made possible thanks to the generous support of Arts Council England, Seasalt Cornwall, Charities Aid Foundation, City Bridge Trust through the London Community Response Fund and Hospital Rooms Friends and Supporters.
