Assunta and Lou Art Club, Backlit, Nottingham, 2024
A public workshop at Backlit Gallery, held during the 2024 Members’ Exhibition, offered the first opportunity to test Assunta and Lou’s quilt installation in a public setting. The interactive, fabric-based structure functioned as a mobile print studio and collaborative workspace, inviting children and families to engage in experimental mark-making, storytelling, and shared making. This event was an important step in developing the physical and conceptual framework of the Art Club, allowing the duo to explore how the quilt could support both practical workshop needs and embodied forms of co-creation.
