Get creative in style! Join us every Tuesday and Thursday during the summer holidays for free ‘fashionable’ activities inspired by our summer exhibition Threads: Clothing, Memory and Identity.

Activities are suitable for all ages. Under 10s must be accompanied by an adult. Please note, activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays will be the same each week.

Week 1: Setting the Style

Why do we wear what we wear? From simple and practical to colourful and detailed, create your own designs to mix and match for a paper person.

Week 2: Fibre to Fabric

Join us to discover the cloth-making history of the town and have a go at making your own simple woven work.

Week 3: Shapes and Colour Palettes

Explore the expression of power and meaning in colour and pattern, then blend ideas to create our own pattern colour wheel.

Week 4: Function to Fashion

Join us to explore how status can be expressed in our clothing and have a go at making your own epaulettes.

Week 5: Finishing Touches

Explore a range of accessories and make your own plaited belt and paper buckle to finish off your look.
