An afternoon of creativity, socialising and stitching inspired by the beautiful and historic surroundings of William Morris Gallery. Come along to meet new people or chat to an old friend, while you sew shapes, words, patterns or draw with thread. The fabric will evolve to represent the contributors and the conversations that unfold.

Stitching Time is a travelling project that will visit several venues over the three year refurbishment of RIBA’s iconic 66 Portland Place, London. RIBA Learning will ‘take the sew on the road’ to engage with the public and build a community of stitchers and contributors.

The workshop leaders are Lil Adams and Edie Parfitt from RIBA Learning.

Lil is an artist, jeweller and educator, her sewing has been exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition multiple times and as part of immersive exhibitions with TRACES.

Edie is an architectural designer with an interest in sustainability and collective learning. Our Learning programme provides exciting opportunities for everyone to explore, question and celebrate architecture.

This workshop will take place on the First Floor Landing of the William Morris Gallery (wheelchair access available).
