Learn how to use fabric and thread to tell stories in our drop-in textile workshops. The project artists will expertly guide you to create embroidered, patchworked and embellished pieces of textile art as part of the Threads of Freedom project. You don’t need any experience to join in as they will guide you through designing and creating your piece inspired by the history of Leeds and the Leodis photographic archives.

Every contribution matters. While we may not be able to include all individual works in the final textile artwork, your creativity and ideas will help inspire and shape the overall piece. This is a collective project, and your voice is an important part of it.

All sessions are free. 
We ask you to fill in a form for our funders and let us know if you do not wish to be photographed.
