Join RIBA Learning for an afternoon of sewing and chat inspired by the exhibition Where the Work Begins tracing the evolution of the artist’s workspace. Over the duration of the exhibition, the fabric will evolve to represent the contributors and the conversations that unfold.
The exhibition will become our communal studio to create a mindful stitched work together. Come along to meet new people or chat to an old friend while you stitch shapes, words, patterns, or draw with thread.
For all ages, under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult. Free, booking is advised.
Please visit the exhibition during these times to see if we have space for you to join in.
