Embroidery Workshop | Each Child a Light

We invite you to join our creative textiles workshop to make a square to be included in the memory quilt naming and honouring the children killed in Gaza. During this workshop you will design and make a decorative square in remembrance of an individual child using the beautiful and versatile techniques of appliqué, fabric collage and embroidery. No previous experience is needed, and all guidance and materials are provided.

Completed squares will be stitched together to create into new panels of the quilt alongside those created by other artists, crafters and creatives from across the UK and internationally.

Workshop will be delivered by Antonia Griffiths and Cassie McCallin, Antonia and Cassie are collectively ‘Afon Mor’. Two women who began their craftivism in response to the genocide in Gaza. We stitch, paint and glue patches, badges, bookmarks and pins to raise money to send to Gaza. When making our squares for the quilt we experimented with light sensitive paint. The idea of using the sun to honour our children felt right.

NOTE: In return for being able to fund our vibrant exhibitions and events, we must charge a ticket price to help offset some of the gallery running and overhead expenses. With a large percentage of our public and private sponsorship eliminated, your gift enables us to continue presenting idea-stimulating art and culture events. Thank you immensely for helping independent not-for-profit art spaces like ours.
