Family Fun: Yemeni Embroidery with London Craft Week
Saturday 18 May 2024, 2pm to 3.30pm
In partnership with The Barakat Trust and as part of London Craft Week, join our hands-on workshop to learn how to stitch your own embroidered square, inspired by the designs of a beautiful Yemeni dress.
Led by Nouria Nagi, OBE (founder of Yemen Noor Foundation for Education and Relief), she will talk about the important role that embroidery plays in her country, Yemen, and will explain more about a special project to teach fellow women to create beautiful wall hangings and cushions inspired by forgotten designs.
Useful information
- The workshop is designed for children of primary school age, 5-11-years-old.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult during the workshop (please note, workshops are not drop-off).
- To avoid disappointment, please do not book tickets for younger children and siblings as they will not be able to participate. Additional family members accompanying younger siblings are welcome to enjoy our cafe and garden during the workshop.
- Our Family Fun and Young People workshops take inspiration from Leighton House, the collections and our temporary exhibitions and include a short tour of the historic house.
- Accompanying adults (1 adult per child) come for free and admission to the historic house is included.
- The session will take place in the Learning Centre at Leighton House.
