Ali Pretty – Beach of Dreams Silk Design Workshops (Free, Drop-In All Day)
1912 Centre, Cow Lane, Harwich, CO12 3ER
Kinetika and Essex Book Festival have been funded by Historic England to gather stories and images of Harwich as part of the national UK wide coastal arts festival Beach of Dreams.
We will design and make 50 silks representing 50 stories from Harwich. These silks will join the national commission – an evolving installation of over 600 silk pennants that will tour the coastlines of the UK in May 2025. beachofdreams.org
They will be installed in Harwich on 28 May where the stories will be shared on a promenade walk led by artist TriggerBliss.
If you would like to contribute a story and design a silk do join Ali’s workshop on 19th Jan. (Free, drop-in, no booking required)
