Southend Sails

Join  Kinetika to design and create Southend Sails, a new community-made textile artwork for Southend High Street.

Join relaxed, hands-on workshops that bring people of all ages and backgrounds together to help create Southend Sails – a bold new public artwork for Southend.

Across a series of friendly design and making sessions, you’ll be invited to share ideas, learn new skills and work alongside others to create a large-scale textile piece using recycled boat sails and silk. Everyone is welcome – whether you sew, draw, stitch, or simply want to be part of something creative and collective.

The workshops are led by artist Katrin Mountain, working with recycled sails and silk remnants from Kinetika’s collection.

Workshops are delivered in collaboration with Create 98, Brazilarte Academy and Welcome to the UK.

Various sessions are available, for more information and to book your spot, please visit their Eventbrite.
