FREE WORKSHOPS FOR PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES - THURSDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER 2010
Northern Seams is a Community Interest Company providing textile arts and crafts for people who use day services who receive a Personal Budget.
They are using a grant from the Big Lottery to run a project called the Fabric of Life. People with a learning disability can come to a series of 4 free workshops and make themselves a gorgeous textile memory book to treasure as a keepsake.
Participants will be encouraged to talk about good things that have happened in their lives and record them in a handmake book. Two artists will support them by showing how to make an embellish the book cover. Next, pages will be created using heat transferred photos (belonging to participants) and text onto fabric.
The books (or photos of the books) that are made will be part of a touring exhibition around the North East's galleries and Libraries.
The next 4 week course for people with learning disabilities will start on Thursday 19th August, 10 am until 12 pm.
It will take place at Brickworks, Studio 10, Hannington Street, Byker, NE6 1JT
