Thursday 25 September, 6-8:30 p.m.: Workshop: Sewing Symbols of Resistance: Banner Making Workshop with Alice Gabb at Museum of the Home

Museum of the Home, 136 Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA 

Join artist and activist Alice Gabb for a workshop exploring the radical history of banner-making. From peace campaigning to trade unions, Alice will provide examples that have inspired and shaped her own practice, exploring the visual culture of social movements and resistance.

Alice will guide you through the process of constructing a banner and help you choose the appropriate materials as you create your own. Through hand stitching and techniques such as appliqué and embroidery, you’ll sew a symbol that speaks about freedom, peace, liberation and resistance.

30 cm x 40cm long banners will be provided. Basic hand sewing skills are helpful but not required. 

Alice Gabb is a Lettering Artist, Banner Maker and activist based in Cornwall. Her work is rooted in histories of banner makers’ past, of community organising and resistance, and has been featured in The Times, House & Garden, Stylist and more. Alice holds workshops and classes in banner making and modern calligraphy, as well as private lessons.
