For the last 12 weeks participants from our Cultural Threads project have been working on making incredible art and learning new skills. To share their experiences we’re hosting a mini-exhibition filled with their work, yummy snacks and interactive workshops. 

Alongside these artists we have worked with early career artists – these mentees have worked hard to support participants and learned from experienced artists. They’re sharing what they’ve learned in hands on workshops. James will be sharing paper folding and origami, Hesam will be decorating biscuits using traditional Iranian techniques (delicious and creative!)  Zarifeh will embellish decorations and Karanjot will be working with wired beading.  

The Multilingual Library are our hosts and will be on hand to help you sign up to become a member- annual subscriptions are £5 or free for those awaiting decisions on asylum applications and NHS workers.  

Limited parking is available to the rear of the building, the space is within walking distance of Gateshead metro and bus interchange. All activities will be on the ground floor with some steps between areas.
