Inspired by Jacqueline de Baume Dûrrbach's tapestry of Guernica, part of the installation The Bloomberg Commission: Goshka Macuga: The Nature of the Beast, create art using traditional craft skills. With artist Tracey Moberly you will spin wool on a drop spindle, weave, knit and dye materials in a spectrum of colours.
