Emerge Workshop: The ‘Bath Patchwork Project ’26'
📍Emerge, Bath Spa University, Bath, BA1 5SF
🗓️Tuesday 7th July 2026
✨A patchwork of people and place✨
The ‘Bath Patchwork Project ’26', curated the Bath Artist Studios, in partnership with The American Museum, Bath, encourages residents of Bath to share their thoughts, hopes and dreams about the city, in written form, whist also hand-stitching their signature on a fabric square, both elements of which will be incorporated into a huge patchworked textile artwork, to be displayed firstly at the AM&G and then onto various civic centres in Bath. Emerge has been invited to be part of its' creation.
Emerge artists are invited to collaborate on this collective artwork that will act as a textile-based time capsule- gathering shared stories, identities, and connections across the city at this moment in time. Take a look at our Instagram:
