Threads of a City: The Manchester Tapestry Project – Stitching Workshops
Join Manchester Histories for Threads of a City: The Manchester Tapestry Project, an ambitious community artwork celebrating the stories, people and heritage of Greater Manchester. Together, communities are helping to create 30 large tapestry panels exploring different aspects of the city-region’s history, from 1853 to the present day.
Now it’s time to bring those stories to life in stitch. Join our regular Monday stitching sessions at Manchester Central Library and contribute directly to the tapestry, working alongside other participants on this unique collaborative artwork. Whether you’re an experienced stitcher, a little rusty or keen to develop your skills, all skill levels are welcome. You’ll have the opportunity to practise stitches before contributing to the tapestry, with support available throughout.
All materials are provided, along with hot drinks and biscuits, and you can attend as many or as few sessions as you like. Once complete, the Manchester Tapestry will be exhibited in the newly refurbished Manchester Town Hall.
Sessions take place every Monday, 1–4pm, at the Manchester Histories Hub on the Lower Ground Floor of Manchester Central Library.
Booking is essential as places are limited. Book your place via Eventbrite here or click ‘Book Now’ below.
