About this Event
On Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th September Voices Gloucester is hosting Scriptorium Sessions at Blackfriars with our friends at Gloucester History Festival.
In 2023 Threads brought together established stitchers and absolute beginners to create a Costume For Gloucester. More than 130 contributors stitched their own stories to make a unique gown that attracted thousands of visitors to an exhibition at the Cathedral, has been worn in the Gloucester Day Parade, and now has a permanent home in the Museum of Gloucester. Project Lead, textile artist and historian Jo Teague, will demonstrate how the gown is a reimagining of folk costume.
Alongside the talk on display will be the Costume For Gloucester from 2023, Community Quilts from 2024, along with a brilliant Boxing Booth by puppet maker and artist Caroline McCatty.
We have 30 places bookable in advance, and 20 walk in on the day. To secure your place please book here
