Little Creative Morning

Start your morning with a hands-on, creative workshop inspired by . Led by artist Fibi Cowley, this session invites children to explore identity, heritage, and storytelling through making.

Using upcycled textiles, you will create a portrait of yourself or someone from your family, friends, or community. Inspired by Małgorzata Mirga-Tas’ vibrant, textile-based practice, this workshop encourages reflection on who we are, where we come from, and the stories we carry with us.

Bring along a piece of clothing or fabric that holds meaning to you, and transform it into something new - either as part of your own artwork or to share with others in the session.

Suitable for children. All materials provided (plus any textiles you’d like to contribute).

Please book a ticket for both child and accompanying adult.
