as part of the sharjah art foundation's community outreach programme, i'll be facilitating a workshop titled 'sharjah textile hunters'. this is my second textiles themed workshop with the foundation – the first workshop was in 2016 and centred around the theme of tapestries (click here for more information).
for 'sharjah textile hunters', participants will begin with a quick tour of the current exhibition 'steps towards the impossible' by alaa younis, then head out to the nearby textile market to discover dominant textile trends and collect scraps from the scattered tailor shops around the neighbourhood. participants will then work in groups and discuss their thoughts and findings, and create their own pattern designs which will be printed onto plain textile surfaces.
i'm really excited about this workshop, and if you're reading this, i hope you are too. the workshop will happen on saturday, 3 november 2018, from 4-8pm, and is free and open to anyone who's interested. to sign up, fill out the registration form here. and for more information on the workshop, head to the sharjah textile hunters page.
looking forward to seeing all the textile hunters very soon...
