Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of the textile collection at 575 Wandsworth Road. Discover the global stories woven into each piece and learn about the techniques and histories behind them.

Discover 575 Wandsworth Road through 'Common Threads', a multi-layered textile inspired community arts programme of in-person and online tours, talks and workshops aimed at fostering local and global connections. This year-long programme draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of textiles at 575 Wandsworth Road, showcasing the diverse cultural narratives woven into fabrics and delving into the cultural significance of this collection - celebrating the histories, techniques, ideas, and people connected with them and reflecting on how they continue to influence our lives today.

Look out for two other great opportunities to connect with this project over Heritage Open Days: Coffee Morning at Battersea + Online tour and talk.
