Stitched Stories: River

Join artist Aga Wanowicz in a side-by-side textile collage drop-in workshop.

Using simple weaving and applique techniques you will be invited to create a new, collaborative textile map of the city, showing the places that are important to Exeter’s communities. The river Exe, which plays an important part in the city’s history, will be at the centre of the panel. Create and share stories of the places that mean something to you.

“Rivers carry stories of movement, memory and connection. The workshops will see many hands and many voices flowing together, like the river itself.” Aga Wanowicz

Textile panels created by community groups Hikmat, Inclusive Exeter, Mixed Families Together and the St Thomas community will also be on display in the Courtyard over the weekend.

This activity is suitable for adults and children 5+. Materials and instructions provided. Drop in between 11am and 2.30pm on Sat 31 Jan and Sun 1 Feb.

All abilities welcomed.
