LOC

A Borough of Culture collaboration from Convenience Gallery and Open Door

LoC is all about giving young people aged 11-19 from Wirral and the LCR an opportunity to engage in creative workshops in a diverse range of exciting practices, to feel inspired and to connect with others.

Following Phase 1 of LoC which ran from March – August, involving programming headed up by Convenience Gallery and their The Town Is the Gallery programme, we're now entering Phase 2, an opportunity to take on some longer projects, and really delve into specific creative areas.

Sessions take place at the Bloom Building, 3 Abbey Close, Birkenhead, CH41 5FQ, and are open to ages 11-19.

Thursday 10th of October

DIY Textiles with Claire Henderson (2/2)

⏰: 5:45 - 6:45pm
📍: Bloom Building, 3 Abbey Close, Birkenhead, CH41 5FQ

Over two sessions, artist Claire Henderson will introduce participants to sustainable, fun and DIY textile construction and embellishment techniques. This will include upcycling, printmaking, sewing and adding 3D elements.

Part two will be about designing a garment or accessory incorporating textile techniques from part one, transferring designs into actual makes, and customising to suit interests, abilities and exploration.
