From December to February, join our free weekly textiles workshops at Battersea Arts Centre and be part of our exciting collective craft project, making a community quilt that explores the question “What makes you feel at home?”.
Workshops will be led by Craft Forward, Fee Uhssi, Roopa Basu and Ksenia Kazintseva and are aimed at Wandsworth and Lambeth residents to foster social connections and inspire creativity at every age. The community quilt will be a collaboration between community members, artists, and organisations as part of our community arts project 'Common Threads', inspired by the fabrics at 575 Wandsworth Road from around the world and the connecting power of textiles to share stories and bring people together.
