Experimental Stitch Inspired by the Dye Garden for 11–16 year olds
About the Workshop
Get inspired by the natural forms within the museum’s Dye Garden in this experimental, hands-on workshop for young makers aged 11–16.
Led by artist and educator Sarah Pain, the day begins with a visit to the Dye Garden to experience its colours, shapes and vibrancy. Then it’s time to get creative – experimental stitching is a chance to doodle with threads and experiment with patterns and textures to create playful, one-of-a-kind textile artworks.
You’ll learn the basics of stitching, including how to create patterns with threads and fabric, try out different techniques and combine colours – encouraging a free and expressive approach to textile making.
Perfect for curious minds and creative hands, this workshop is a chance to explore, invent, and take-home skills to keep sewing beyond the day.
Please bring your own lunch.
