Winding Workshop with Nowshin Prenon

Drop in and discover the art of winding in this hands-on workshop inspired by the V&A South Asia Collection. Using hand-dyed natural yarns, you will create your own unique design to take away with you.

Nowshin Prenon is a London-based textile artist specialising in woven textile design. Her practice explores colour, material and process through handwoven and hand-dyed textiles, drawing inspiration from her Bangladeshi heritage, architecture and the natural world. She uses weaving and the winding process to explore themes of identity, memory and cultural connection. Passionate about preserving traditional textile crafts, Nowshin uses her work and workshops to share the art of weaving and winding, encouraging a greater appreciation of South Asian textile heritage, handmade processes and sustainable making.

This event is part of Aaram Hours, an evening of free performances, workshops and conversation, created by a collective of Youth Producers who came to the V&A with a vision for connection, community and soulful inspiration. 

Curated in response to the South Asia Collection and Bharti Kher's sculptural works, Aaram Hours is open to all young people (16-26), regardless of heritage. It offers a safe and welcoming environment to convene, connect, and perhaps challenge connections to South Asia in a fun, collaborative and contemporary manner.
