This free workshop series invites you to take part in creating a beautiful hand-embroidered community quilt, using the skills and techniques of kantha embroidery, one of the oldest forms of embroidery in the world. Originating in Bangladesh, this is a beautiful and meditative craft which upcycles old cloth and materials into elaborate embroidered pieces. You will learn techniques from our practitioner Shama and use your skills to contribute to a large community piece that will be exhibited at the end of the series. Sessions take place in the Create Place (E2 9PJ).
