Open call for community groups to take part in a project at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens

We are looking for community groups to take part in an artist-led project, working with natural dyeing techniques, in October 2024.

This year, at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, we have been celebrating the theme of Inspiration, Sculpture and Our Natural World across all of our events and activities.

In autumn, we are looking for community groups who would be interested in working with textile artist Alice Burnhope in a series of weekly workshops, which will culminate in celebration events for friends, family and the wider public.

We are looking for expressions of interest from groups across all ages and abilities. No experience in textiles is needed, just an open-minded interest or curiosity to try out natural dyeing techniques and develop your creativity, knowledge and skills.  Groups will take part in artist-led workshops on Friday afternoons in October.

We’re particularly keen to work with groups based in East Hertfordshire or in neighbouring areas with ‘New Town’ histories, such as Harlow, Stevenage, and Welwyn and Hatfield.
