Modern Quilting with Natural Fabrics – Art Room, Grown Up Workshop – Thursday 21st March, 7pm
Create your textile design artwork using the patchwork and quilting technique. Using natural and leftover fabrics we experiment with textiles and discover different ways of creating patchwork/pieces. You will get to use hand stitching techniques, try out sewing machines and enjoy spending time together.

The art room
The art room at Highgate Primary has been created to provide a space for children and adults to come together to express their inherent creative nature; to learn about the world of the arts and its capacity to make whole the individual. Its mission is based firmly on the belief that being involved in the arts can have a lasting and transforming effect on many aspects of the lives of individuals and communities, whose sense of identity and purpose can be changed through such engagement.
