Sunday 13 September, 1.30-4.30 p.m.: Workshop: Victorian 'Crazy' Quilt with Cris Prete at Museum of the Home
Museum of the Home, 136 Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA
The Museum of the Home is the only museum in the world dedicated to exploring the meaning and experience of home. Housed within historic almshouses in East London, the museum examines how domestic life has evolved over the past four centuries through period interiors, everyday objects and contemporary displays. Through exhibitions, collections and public programmes, the museum invites visitors to consider how homes reflect changing ideas about family, identity, work, technology and community.
Event Description
Join textile and embroidery artist Cris Prete for a patchwork quilting workshop inspired by a c.1890 Victorian ‘Crazy’ Quilt found in Museum of the Home's collections.
During the workshop, you’ll create a 15cm square panel, which can be used as the beginning of a larger quilt, a patch or pocket to be added to clothing, or a finished artwork in its own right.
The first half of the workshop will focus on foundation piecing through hand stitching to begin creating your quilt. In the second half, you’ll explore techniques for embellishment and embroidery to ornament your piece.
Upcycled fabrics, embroidery threads, and embellishments will be provided. You are invited to bring any additional materials to personalise your creations.
Cris Prete is a Diploma student in Technical Hand Embroidery at the Royal School of Needlework, having recently graduated from the Certificate course. Cris has taken part in a group exhibition at the Town House Spitalfields as part of the London Design Festival and Shoreditch Design Triangle.
As a Textile and Embroidery artist, Cris’s practice is rooted in deep appreciation for nature and traditional Japanese aesthetics. She is also passionate about sustainability, working with upcycled materials and embracing the art of visible mending.
