Workshop: Family Ties - Wall Hanging with Kate Dorrough

For all ages (7yrs +) 

Inspired by the textile hangings in the exhibition, Heather and Kate Dorrough: Lineage make your own unique fabric hanging to put on your wall at home.

In-keeping with the theme of lineage, we invite mothers, daughters, fathers, and sons of all ages (including grandparents / carers) to come and experience artmaking together.

Artist, Kate Dorrough will lead you through the exhibition, and talk about the works on display, then guide you to create your own wall hanging using fabric, paper, paint, beads and simple stitching techniques.

All materials included, however you are welcome to bring fabric offcuts of your own if you have them.
