Join us in these hands-on workshops is to visually interpret the history Ipswich’s Woollen Mills. Workshops are free to attend, but please book.
You will learn techniques to conceive and create 3D textile artworks, as well as the tools, planning and fabrication to build an exhibition.
Sample works produced from these sessions can be contributed to an exhibition being held as part of Ipswich’s Galvanized Festival 2023.
The ultimate goal is to inspire participants to participate in the Ipswich Threads exhibition planned for 2024, to celebrate 150 years since the first mill company in Ipswich was formed.
