The Fabric of Life - Awards for All Grant awarded to Northern Seams

Northern Seams have received an Awards For All Grant for a project called 'The Fabric of Life'. We will be running workshops for people with learning disabilities and people over 65 to support them to make Textile Memory Books that will go into an exhibition touring the North East. A big thanks to the Big Lottery for funding this exciting and innovative project.

The first workshops are going to be with people who attend the Richmond Fellowship Day service in Lanchester later this month. Pictures of work in progress will be able to be viewed shortly.

If you would like to make a textile memory book please email or ring us to find out where the nearest workshop will be.

The Fabric of Life

Would you like to make gorgeous fabric books all about you and your memories?

We are running a series of free 4 week workshops for people with learning disabilities to make textile memory books. These will be exhibited in the North East. Workshops will take place at Studio 10, Brickworks, Hannington street, Byker. Learn how to make felt, stitch, use a sewing machine, make new friends and take home a keepsake to treasure.

The next 4-week workshop will start on: Thursday 19 August. 10am till 11.45am
