Join us for a family drop-in workshop, exploring the techniques, processes and patterns of textile moquette fabric. We will have a range of exploratory activities suitable for all ages, including mark-making, drawing and collage.

Booking is not required, but helps us to plan our sessions. All are welcome, whether you are an existing member of our community or a first time visitor.

This workshop is part of Everybody Arts' new project - Design a Modern Day Moquette

‍As part of Calderdale’s Art and About trail, we’re delivering an exciting community arts project to celebrate Calderdale’s rich textiles history.                  

About the Project

The moquette project will bring together communities from across Calderdale to design a new moquette fabric that will be displayed at Halifax bus station. This will be a key point of interest on the Art and About trail – a route featuring existing landmarks and new art installations that celebrate the unique heritage and culture of Halifax.                  

The moquette project will commemorate the history of textiles in Calderdale - but will also look to capture what makes the borough special now. The moquette fabric will bring together themes and ideas from people across Calderdale into one design that tells the unique story of the place we call home.

The project will be led by Everybody Arts Director, Harriet Fletcher, with input from artists and communities across Calderdale. Check out this video to hear Harriet share more about the project and how you can get involved.
