Silk painting workshop with Aysha Yilmaz at the Rochdale Pioneers Museum

Join us at the Rochdale Pioneers Museum for a special silk painting workshop with Aysha Yilmaz.
In this workshop, motifs and designs from The Silk Road will be used to produce a silk painting. You will explore the origins of silk and some of the key motifs. Aysha will guide you in applying your design onto a silk fabric for you to take home.
This activity is designed as an exploration of Islamic arts to be enjoyed as a mindfulness activity during ramadan - but everyone is welcome to join this fun session.
Adult tickets are £10 and they include a ticket to the Rochdale Pioneers Museum, which is valid for a year after the event. This means that you will be able to re-visit for free for 12 months after the event.
Child tickets are £3 and are for anyone under the age of 18, but all children MUST be accompanied by an adult. If accompanying adults attend without their own ticket, they must be in the room during the activity but will not be able to participate in the activities.
