Join RIBA Learning for a morning of sewing and chat inspired by the Threading the Needle: Architecture of Care display in the V&A Architecture Galleries. Over the four weeks of the LFA, the fabric will evolve to represent the contributors and the conversations that unfold.
Come along to meet new people or chat to an old friend, while you stitch some shapes, words, patterns or draw with thread.
For all ages, under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult. Booking is advised, but please visit the exhibition during these times to see if we have space for you to join in.
Meeting point: V&A Architecture Landing. V&A's venue accessibility information.
Free, booking is required.
