Join artist Aya Haidar for a series of hands-on creative textile workshops exploring storytelling through fabric, memory, and making. Together, participants will collaboratively create a large banner to be exhibited at Oxford House as part of our Material Histories exhibition.
Rooted in the rich heritage of the East End’s textile industry, these sessions invite you to stitch, assemble, and experiment while sharing personal and collective stories inspired by community histories. No prior experience is needed.
Come along to learn new skills, connect with others and contribute to a shared artwork celebrating the material and social histories of textiles in the East End.
Workshops take place each Wednesday from 22 April to 27 May 10.30am-12.30pm
Open to adults age 18+
