Our bags and backpacks often reflect our personal journeys and travels. Join mixed-media artist Woo Jin Joo as we stitch our stories and memories onto small 2D fabric bags to bring along to your next adventure.
About
Whether it’s moving to a different place, travelling in our local area, or making our way to school, the things we bring with us on our journeys represent who we are and what matters to us.
Using simple 2D templates of different shaped bags made out of hessian as their starting point, children will stitch with plastic needles (safe for younger kids too!) and use other decorative materials to imprint and embellish their bags, tracing their journeys and travels.
In this workshop, children will learn basic stitching techniques, how to layer materials on top of each other, composition and design.
This event is an inclusive, friendly environment which is accessible to all abilities and age groups.
Bow Families is a series of free, drop-in family art workshops that take place on the last Sunday of every month in the Bow Arts Courtyard. These sessions are a wonderful opportunity for local families to get creative and try something new! Each session is led by a Bow Arts’ Artist and all materials are provided.
Free Drop in event – no booking required!
