Mini festival

This is set to be a great event, The Papered Parlour is putting on a mini festival, in celebration of ethical fashion and contemporary crafts. Taking place Thursday 3rd March at V&A museum of childhood.

Come along to take part in workshops, listen to live music and take part in topical panel discussions. There will also be the opportunity to shop at some of London’s best crafts stalls all set amongst the museums exquisite collections.

I will be teaching patchwork, and hopefully during the evening anyone who would like to join in will have the opportunity to learn the basics of cutting, piecing and sewing patchwork squares to together. This will contribute to a communal quilt project, promoting the craft and the idea of preserving fabrics to reuse and recreate something new out of old.

Fine Cell Work will be amongst some of people exhibiting at the event – so come along and see some of the best hand embroidery and patchwork all hand made in U.K prison.
