A patchwork of people and place

The ‘Bath Patchwork Project ’26', curated the Bath Artist Studios, in partnership with The American Museum, Bath, invites Emerge artists to collaborate on this collective artwork that will act as a textile-based time capsule- gathering shared stories, identities, and connections across the city at this moment in time. 

What to expect:

• A teacher-led workshop or workshops where you will learn how to hand-stitch your name onto fabric.

• Share your hand-written hopes or thoughts onto paper that will be incorporated into the reverse side of the patchwork 

• Have conversations, learn a new skill, be part of an ambitious community project.

• No experience needed- just come as you are.

• All materials will be provided.
