Big Draw at Kensington

Patchwork Palace

On Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th October the education team worked with children and their families to create a patchwork palace quilt for the Big Draw event. The Enchanted Palace provided the perfect backdrop for us to look at examples of 18th and 19th century silhouettes of palace characters. Children cut out these shadowy forms and then enchanted them, fixing them on to the patchwork using needle, thread, sequins and pearls.

The finished patchwork will be hung in the Learning Space at Kensington Palace.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part!
