About this event

Join artist Amy Brock-Morgan for a fun and collaborative community flag making workshop as part of the ALMA Winter Arts Weekend.

Join artist Amy Brock-Morgan for a fun and collaborative community flag making workshop as part of the ALMA Winter Arts Weekend. The workshop is open to everyone age 16+. No skills or prior experience required. All materials provided.

Amy is a Cornish Artist, based on the Lizard Peninsula, who specialises in hand sewn textile tapestries; using remnant, repurposed and found fabrics. Seeking and finding, then deconstructing and re-working, turning the old into new. Paying attention to consider the way we produce and consume and the impact this has. Drawn to slow stitch and mediative repair rhythms, Amy responds to the environment around her, the ancient landscape and the fringes where land ends. Amy leads community workshops, teaching hand sewing and applique techniques to make group or individual pieces.

ALMA’s Winter Arts Festival will feature on the closing weekend of Be Newquay Festival – a new season of events, activities and workshops that celebrate Newquay’s culture and creative spirit. Throughout each weekend in November, the festival will be taking place at various venues across the town. Find out what else is on the programme here. Join us and be creatively curious.

The Be Newquay Festival has been curated by Cornwall Council project ‘Experience Newquay’ in collaboration with local project partners Love Newquay and Visit Newquay. It is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
