At the Edventure Hub, Frome

In this session, we’re building on the stitching skills from the previous session (or utilising your existing stitching skills), and we’ll begin the design and creation of the individual patches which will combine to form a shared art work.

You’ll be introduced to methods for joining patchwork pieces, as well as learning about the context of patchwork.

No previous experience necessary, all tools and materials will be provided.

This workshop is the first of three in our Community Art Creation series –you’ll get the most from it if you come along to all 3 sessions.
