About Global Generation
lobal Generation is an educational charity, which works together with local children and young people, businesses, residents and families in Camden, Islington and Southwark. The RSN partnered with Global Generation in order to create a new art piece for their new garden in Kings Cross.
As part of the Fragile Threads initiative, the RSN is leading a year-long series of workshops to design and create a nature-based centrepiece.
The Project
In October half term we held the first of nine workshops with Global Generations Generator clubs. RSN Tutor Sonja Galsworthy introduced the participants, aged between 10-18 to some basic embroidery skills, including embroidering words onto cards.
Workshops are continuing through the academic year, with short sessions in term-time and full day workshops during the school holidays.
The club members have been progressing their embroidery skills, using recycled and reclaimed materials where possible and are also developing the design for their art piece – a centrepiece for the new Global Generation garden currently under construction.
The project will culminate in a final day in July where the final piece, designed and worked by these young stitchers will be unveiled to their community.
The piece will also be on display at the Fragile Threads Exhibition in February 2027.
