Are you under 30 or over 60? Join our intergenerational textile workshop series for an opportunity to create together, build connections and share experiences.

Led by artist Kim Chin, this workshop will provide a space for intergenerational dialogue and creative expression through stitching, natural dye prints, embroidery and collage. In slow and collective making sessions, we will discuss themes such as climate emergency, our relationship with nature, collective care, and social empathy, within the context of The Showroom's exhibition programme.

Delineating what is inside or outside of our control, with or without others, can invite space for unpredictable memories and emotions - attuned diligence supports well-being. If we are tender with people - allowing room to grow from mistakes, and firm with the parameters that will safeguard common space, together we can embolden care for all. These small practices will spill onto all we touch, building steps towards the change we want to live. Kim Chin

No previous stitching experience necessary. Materials and refreshments will be provided.
