From the Institute of Classical Studies…

Explore the connections between storytelling and textile-making in women’s lives from ancient Greece to modern London. Join us to look for the stories of our craftivist foremothers in artefacts and poetry from the past; hear the voices of these ‘subversive stitchers’ with an evening performance from By Jove Theatre Company,introduced by experts on ancient craft; try your hand at spinning wool into yarn, or at weaving on our replica loom; and make artefacts – from clay and cloth – inspired by archaeological evidence from ancient Greece and Rome.
