Inspiration:

Continuing from July’s workshop, this session will focus on the museum’s significant banner collection. The display of banners changes each year, and we will take part in choosing a banner to include in the 2025 Banner Exhibition, learning about the process of curating the exhibition and taking a deeper dive into the meaning and relevance of the banners we explore.

In response to these sessions, we will make individual textile pieces reflecting on what the banners mean to us today.
