About this Event
Woven into the East End
Explore the art of transfer printing and surface embroidery. Choose from a range of demonstrated techniques and develop your own style.
The stories of East London's British Bengali and Bangladeshi community are woven into this workshop. We'll explore how generations of people have made Shoreditch and the East End their home, building new lives, businesses and communities, and shaping the area's rich textile and fashion heritage along the way.
This workshop invites you to explore your own heritage, memories and experiences, and the people and places that have shaped your sense of home. Bring your stories to life through colour, pattern and stitch.
