CALLING ALL STITCHERS, TEXTILE ENTHUSIASTS & ANYONE SIMPLY CURIOUS

We'd like to invite you to a workshop run by our wonderful Threads lead Jo Teague, and the Fashion Fictions team from Nottingham School of Art and Design

Monday 23rd June, 10:30 - 15:00 at Gloucestershire Heritage Hub.

The fascinating workshop aims to upskill community practitioners to increase their ambition and scope, with an inspiration session led by Amy Twigger Holroyd, who will also provide accessible resources. Plus - this is an opportunity to connect at the ‘fledging’ development phase for the next chapter in the Threads story - building on the Costume for Gloucester and Stitching Lives Together quilts - this time we are planning to make international connections with a stitch exchange across the world!

To book your free space, please email tiah@voicesgloucester.org.uk - places are limited.
