The Social Sofa Project @ JOLT - Social Clothes Swap, and Fabric Workshop

Join us in creating a public art piece celebrating the people of Gloucester and the community, created by local artist LJ Ellam in their new project ‘The Social Sofa Project’.

The Social Sofa Project aims to have illustrations, embroidered patches or knitted and crocheted pieces, and to take these onto furniture. This furniture will then be publicly exhibited in specific locations in Gloucester, and on loan to the places that have helped create them, for all to see and use.

This is a relaxed, drop-in social session where you create a fabric collage, using monoprinting to add designs, and discuss your memories about Gloucester, and your feelings about your community. No experience needed, all materials provided.

There will be a social clothes swap available too, so bring any old fabric and clothes to be used in the workshop, or to trade with others.
