Interactive Weaves: Textile Weave

Join studio artist Alice Hume as she leads the last in her community arts project. The Textiles Weave marks the last workshop in the series for the Interactive Weaves project.

Textiles Weave

The final in the series will be held on Sunday 22nd August and will focus on reused textiles. Participants will be encouraged to bring old clothing or fabrics from home to contribute to the woven artwork. The weaving projects offer the public the chance to work alongside the professional artists of the Hotwalls Studios, and is suitable for all ages and abilities. This weave will be supported by textiles artist’s Kim Edith and Miesje Chafer who will be running a free upcycling textile in boro stitching and weaving workshop. Watch Louise Braithwaite life-paint the weave outside on an easel.
