Fabric
Needles
Hoops
Thread
Scissors
Daler mounting board
Refreshments

 

East London Textile Arts is a textile collective, running participatory textile projects in Newham, East London. ELTA believes textiles of the highest quality can be made within communities. The collective works with diverse groups on a long-term developmental basis building a range of skills. They create striking artworks for exhibitions and sell their cards, decorated papers and printed fabrics at open days, and exhibitions. ELTA works with adults with learning disabilities, and collaborate with community, cultural and academic organisations. They create work with their own textile artists, while inviting visiting artists to join projects, and train unemployed young people in textile and community skills. They are led by Sonia Tuttiett and Celia Ward.
