Artist Workshop: Heirloom Stitched Stories with Hannah Lamb
This workshop explores items from the Gawthorpe Textiles Collection as an example of the way people keep special items as mementos and how written narratives help us to preserve these stories. The workshop will involve a combination of studying artefacts from the collection as well as stitching, discussion and the option for you to also bring your own heirloom item to study.
