About this event

Cliffe Castle Museum

A FREE tiny tapestry workshop

BDMG museum young ambassadors invite you to get their interactive loom started with artist Donna Templeman. A super creative, playful, and imaginative day at the castle. Help the young ambassadors to create DNA squares for their tapestry to be featured in an upcoming exhibition in December. All ages welcome but especially 16- to 25-year-olds! What will your square say about you, your heritage, your postcode?

No need to book – just drop in. Donations welcome to this volunteer led event.
