Handle is a floristry workshop that aims to provide a safe space for women to talk, interact and take ownership through learning a new creative skill.
Handle runs fortnightly at refuges across London for women who are survivors of domestic violence and abuse.
Handle attempts to address the complexities of domestic violence recovery by providing floristry workshops - a creative practice that most can participate in and appreciate - which then allows the participant to take home something they have created and made. The workshops allows women to take ownership of their own homes and spaces.
Handle plays a small role in the matrix of domestic violence recovery by providing a safe space for women to gain confidence, communicate any issues and effectively empower themselves to take control of other more complex aspects of their lives.
