Stitching Time

Join RIBA Learning for a morning of sewing and chatting.

Come along to meet new people or chat to an old friend, while you stitch some shapes, words, patterns or draw with thread. The fabric will evolve to represent the contributors and the conversations that unfold.

This is a travelling piece that will go to many venues over a 3 year period during the refurbishment of the RIBA’s HQ building. ‘Take the sew on the road’ and engage with public at different venues to build a community of stitchers and develop the piece.
