If you enjoy exploring all forms of textile and multimedia art, this activity is for you.

We experiment with many different techniques (embroidery, weaving, patchwork, quilting, collages, dyeing techniques…) and we take pleasure in sharing and exploring various types of work together.

Some of our shared projects are displayed at the library. This year we intend to go further into the artistic side of creation.

No previous expertise required. Just come and join us!
