Call for Cloth Workshops at Glasgow Women’s Library 
Thursday 25 August, Thursday 8 September, Wednesday 14 September, Thursday 22 September and Thursday 6 October 2016, All sessions 2.30-4.30pm 

As Glasgow Women’s Library prepares for the Tall Tales exhibition to arrive in the Autumn, we’re inviting you to take part in a series of creative workshops with artists Joanna Peace, Lauren Sagar and Liz Wewiora.

Inspired by the stories we tell about cloth and clothing, we will print with tie-dye, play with light and patterns, share stories and record them, and make a new artwork which will be shown as part of the Tall Tales programme.

Workshops are free. Please book in advance if you can.
