The House of Hope, Poetry and Printing Workshops
What do you hope for?
Follow the trail from the Old O2 Shop, where you can take part in a poetry activity, to Chapel Arts Studios to explore the Summer Exhibition. Outside the Gallery, you’ll be invited to create a symbol of hope using fabric printing techniques, then add your piece to a collaborative canvas house that gradually transforms into a living patchwork installation.
