Do you own an object that brings you happiness? Something you could not live without? Perhaps you have a few, or had one long ago, now lost; A scarf, a mug, a photograph…. Inspired by Electronic Sheeps commissioned tapestry on exhibition at Project Arts Centre, we will play short games to explore words and drawings about these objects. Using these experiments on paper you will create a unique paper weaving. An homage to this special thing in your life.

All ages welcome, children must be accompanied by an adult.
