Join us for a creative textiles workshop this summer holiday for children aged 7+ and their parent or guardian.
Inspired by the playful pet portraits of artist Martha Todd on display in our exhibition A Dog’s Life, this session is all about creating accessories for your four-legged friends. Children will learn how to make their own bandana or bow using basic sewing skills and upcycled fabric.
No pet? No problem. These handmade creations also make great hair accessories or can be gifted to friends and family.
Children will be guided through measuring and cutting fabric, hand-stitching, and designing their own unique accessory to take home. All materials will be provided.
If parents and guardians want to get involved and make their hand-sewn accessories, additional materials can be purchased as a £12 add-on.
