Arm Knit a Throw Workshop

We are really excited to welcoming you back for our popular arm knitting workshop!

Join us for a fun and unique morning of learning to knit with your arms and creating your very own cosy throw.

Using gorgeous giant yarn in a choice of beautiful colours from Woolly Mahoosive you will learn all the basics of arm knitting and walk away with your very own completed throw. Perfect to cosy up under all year round and as a unique handmade addition to your home which you can feel proud of.

Sculpture Play in Artspace

A room full of different everyday objects invites young and older to stack, balance and join to make 3D artworks from  the stuff that surrounds us and is thrown away when it could be used to make art.  Each day we will photograph one and post it on our social media as #Play 'sculpture of the day'.

Whilst you are here, why not explore the Gallery for artworks featuring everyday things, spend time in our Sculpture and Photography exhibition, and pop-next door to our sister gallery the Henry Moore Institute to find the Hany Armanious 'Stone Soup exhibition.

Family Workshop: Adinkra Printing

Learn about Adinkra printing and try it yourself with artist Nana-Essi in this family workshop (part of Black History Month).

Adinkra translates from the Akan word “nkra” meaning “goodbye” or “farewell”. The cloth was worn primarily for funerals by Ashanti royalty and traditional spiritual leaders. Its use is more diverse now and people wear Adinkra cloths for child naming, marriage, installation of chiefs and queen mothers. The symbols on the Adinkra fabrics determine the occasions and places/locations to which the cloths are worn.
