Event information

Make a ‘stitch in time’, with the Great Tapestry of Scotland, one of the country’s biggest ever community arts projects. Hundreds of stitchers across Scotland are working to produce the world’s longest embroidered tapestry, telling the entire history of Scotland – everything from Duns Scotus to Dolly the sheep. Come and meet some of the project’s wonderful stitchers, with artist Andrew Crummy, and view a selection of the sketches and tapestry panels being created as part of this exquisite artwork. You might even be able to add a stitch or two yourself...This event will be open from 10:30 to 16:00 and you can visit the Education Centre throughout the day.

In association with the Great Tapestry of Scotland.
