Family Fun: Yemeni Embroidery with London Craft Week @ Leighton House
Actions
In partnership with The Barakat Trust and as part of London Craft Week, join our hands-on workshop to learn how to stitch your own embroidered square, inspired by the designs of a beautiful Yemeni dress.
Led by Nouria Nagi, OBE (founder of Yemen Noor Foundation for Education and Relief), she will talk about the important role that embroidery plays in her country, Yemen, and will explain more about a special project to teach fellow women to create beautiful wall hangings and cushions inspired by forgotten designs.
Useful information
