Join us for a hands-on tile painting workshop at Left Bank Leeds!
Get creative and connect with culture as we explore beautiful traditional Maltese tile designs. In this relaxed and welcoming session, you’ll paint your own ceramic tile to take home – inspired by the rich colours, patterns, and heritage of Malta.

This workshop is part of Crafting Culture: An Exploration of Maltese Culture and Identity – a vibrant exhibition celebrating how we build community through the objects we treasure, the stories we share, and the skills we pass on.

All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly towards supporting the costs of the upcoming exhibition. Come along, get inspired, and be part of something meaningful!

More about the exhibition 'Crafting Culture: An Exploration of Maltese Culture and Identity'
Crafting Culture is a solo exhibition of illustrations by Jude, inspired by the life and stories of her Nanna, who moved from Malta to England after the Second World War. Created in memory of her Nanna, who passed away just before Christmas 2024, the exhibition is a personal journey into heritage, memory, and belonging.

Through drawing and craft, Jude explores her own connection to Maltese identity – weaving in family stories, cultural symbols, and traditions passed down through generations. The exhibition also includes shared memories and reflections from others in the Maltese diaspora, creating a broader tapestry of community and connection.

A series of creative workshops run alongside the exhibition, inviting people of all ages to explore these themes through tile painting, collage, sketching, and colouring. Each session offers a space to reflect, create, and connect – and all proceeds go towards supporting the exhibition.
