Nawal Gebreel, a textile designer and member of Bluecoat's Creative Community, will share her passion for embroidered textiles and her remarkable journey in creating a collection inspired by Afghanistan.She will take us through her experiences visiting the Afghan border, introducing us to the incredible people she met and the stories behind their craftsmanship. Afghanistan is a truly unique country, home to diverse ethnic groups who have preserved their culture through textiles and traditional crafts. These communities find deep meaning in their traditions, expressing their connection to nature and everyday life through intricate designs - especially in carpets and embroidery.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to see and handle pieces from Nawal’s collection, gaining a tactile sense of these extraordinary textiles and artefacts.
