Embroidery Workshop: Location: Oriental Museum
Date: Tuesday 13th August 2024
Time: 10am-12pm
Join artists Bex Harvey and Sarah Li in this free workshop exploring Durham University’s Ancient Greek collections to discuss LGBTQIA+ histories, respond to the collections through Queer storytelling and create your own piece of embroidery.
Complete beginners are welcome, as are experienced embroiderers! Sarah and Bex will be giving instructions on how to do some basic embroidery which can result in storytelling with embroidered words, or you could create an image.
Please sign up to the workshop beforehand as this workshop has a limited number of places.
