Come and join Artist Fae Kilburn for a fun accessible tactile art workshop. Creating Protest Slogans on T-Shirts & Fabric. You will make fabric artworks that you can keep and take home, and some that will be added to a large fabric artwork.
Beginner friendly, no previous experience necessary.
Please wear scruffy clothes – we will do our best to provide aprons but the paint may stain.
This workshop is part of a project called Reasonable Adjustment 2.0. The aim of the project is to mark the 30th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act, and 15th anniversary of the Equality Act. We are using these anniversaries to make artworks that capture honest feelings and experiences of what it’s like to be Deaf, Disabled, and/or Neurodivergent (DDN).
The workshop will be a welcoming space. We want to use this project to raise awareness of DDN people's lives, give platform to your voices, and offer a place to share your experiences (good and bad) through creativity.
What to Expect
A relaxed, inclusive art & making workshop. Suitable for all skill levels, for anyone aged 16+.
Expect a friendly atmosphere with live demonstrations and a chance to get hands on with fabric paints. Using fabric paints and textiles, you’ll experiment with materials and Fae will guide you through a variety of printmaking techniques to decorate t-shirts that celebrate and raise awareness of the lives and experiences of deaf, disabled, and/or neurodivergent communities. The workshop will be a safe space to be honest, be creative, have fun, and share experiences. You can make using words or BSL signs.
The workshop will involve using paint and inks, so please wear scruffy clothes!
This workshop is part of our Reasonable Adjustment project, which is all about working with deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent communities across Peterborough. Your work will be incorporated into new artworks made by Fae and proudly displayed in September as part of the project celebration. Details to be confirmed.
