Banner Making with Aya Haidar

Create a community textile banner with artist Aya Haidar, sharing East End stories for an exhibition at Oxford House.

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.

Participants are encouraged to join multiple workshops, as the project will evolve over time and the final artwork will be shaped collectively across the series.

Open to adults age 18+
