After my Bedouin Grandmother: Thread as Architecture, Song as Home

12 June '26 at 12:00 pm - 14 June '26 at 5:00 pm

Join artist and architect Lobna Sana from the Naqab desert for three days of collective building, engaging in the story of woven architecture.
Hosted in our garden, the workshops draw on Bedouin Palestinian weaving traditions,
At the heart of this project is a celebration of the women who built and sustained these architectures often without recognition.

Across the three workshop days,
Friday, 12 June: Building the loom from scratch
Saturday, 13 June: Weaving, alongside poetry exercises exploring memory, home, song and water
Sunday, 14 June: Weaving, closing with Lobna Sana reflecting on Palestinian weaving traditions and their relationship to architecture, homemaking and resistance

Each afternoon will include shared tea breaks – moments to rest and continue the conversations around the loom.
All welcome. No experience necessary.
With kind support from RESOLVE Collective and Material Store at Tipping Point East from where we sourced the wood for the looms
