Family Art Fun Day – Paper Threads

Paper Threads: Weaving Narratives Through Paper and Textile

Join us for an experimental, hands-on workshop where we’ll create woven baskets using paper and textiles. Together, we’ll explore themes of personal narrative, legacy, and wellbeing through tactile making. Feel free to bring along images, book pages, magazines, or fabrics you’d like to weave into your designs.

ABOUT TYREIS HOLDER:

Tyreis Holder is an Artist, Poet, Visual Storyteller and Community arts practitioner from South London, with heritage reigning from Jamaican/St Vincent.

She works heavily in mediums pertaining to installation, textiles, performance, poetry, sculpture and sound. Her practice centres around explorations of self, identity politics, generational/ancestral healing, spirituality, and the relationship with the mind, particularly within regards to navigating colonial spaces.

Primary grounds for exploration pertain to how textiles poses as poetic language, functioning as a healing device- specifically in regards to trauma experienced by black women. Bringing lived experiences into her practice, she aims to generate conversations around how social and intimate spaces are shaped through race, diffability*, community, heritage, class, gender and culture.
