The Fabric of Gloucester is part of our THREADS story, and this year we are inviting anyone who likes to stitch, paint, knit or crochet to contribute a 55cm square of cloth or a 105cm square of cloth that tells us what belonging means to you.
What do you need to feel like you belong? Nature, people, food, books, art, animals, – whatever gives you that sense of belonging – create that on cloth.
All pieces will be displayed together in a very special exhibition at Llanthony Secunda Priory, 19–21 June 2026, as part of Refugee Week.
Drop your finished piece at The Heritage Hub, Clarence Row, Alvin St, Gloucester GL1 3DW by 18th May 2026.
Jo Teague will be hosting free workshops at the Heritage Hub on Tuesday 14th April -2-4pm, or Thursday 16th April 4-6pm, come along if you would like to talk through your ideas, or pick up some materials.
If you are a stitch group and can’t make those sessions, we can offer further free workshops – just reach out to Kate at threads@voicesgloucester.org.uk to find out more.
Free materials packs are available from The Scrapstore, City Works, Alfred St, Gloucester GL1 4DF.
We would love to make an impact with you on this next Threads project.
Threads: The Fabric of Gloucester is a partnership project, curated by Voices Gloucester and Jo Teague, and made possible thanks to public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Together Gloucester and the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation.
