Hear my Voice: Portraits in Cloth - by Alice Kettle

Find out how to participate in an exciting major art project, led by contemporary textile artist, Alice Kettle. Everyone and all ages welcome!
Alice is making a monumental work with portraits by you to make a crowd of people. Your drawings could be chosen to be embroidered by Alice to make a huge multitude, to be displayed at the RWA Gallery in Bristol between May-August, 2025.
WHAT YOU DO:
ï On an A5 piece of paper, draw a simple drawing of yourself or of someone you know or a group of
friends or family.
ï Do not include too much detail, keep it graphic. It can be an outline with simple blocks of colour.
ï It can be just a head. It can be the whole person. They can be holding or wearing something important.
ï It doesn’t need to be a likeness, just an impression. Don’t worry about doing a good drawing!
ï You can do as many as you want!
NEXT -
ï Take a photo of the drawing.
ï If you chose write your first name on the work (do not include your full name)

WHAT WILL ALICE DO WITH YOUR DRAWING?
