Art in the Docks is creating a new Community Coat, and this time it’s inspired by the world of bees. Just like a hive, the coat will come alive through many hands, ideas, and stitches, each adding to the whole.
We’re inviting everyone - makers, beginners, families, and friends - to take part in this collaborative artwork from sustainable sources . Together, we’ll celebrate the spirit of bees: their teamwork, resilience, and role in keeping our world thriving.
Through workshops and homeworking contributions, your creativity will help transform the coat into a vibrant symbol of community connection. When it’s finished, the coat will be worn and shared at future gatherings, buzzing with colour, texture, and stories from all who took part.

These workshops are funded by the Notting Hill Genesis Love While You Live Fund.
All our workshops are free or very low cost, and continue to be possible thanks to our funders and supporters. Please donate what you can to allow us to continue providing these sessions. We want our events to be affordable to everyone. You can book a free place if you want, but we invite people to make a minimum £5 donation. This is still far less than the real cost. Paying more enables us to offer free places to other people who need them. All donations are anonymous.
Thank you.
