Together with textile artists Clare Wilkes and Rachel Dormor, people from all over Cambridge embroidered their own unique squares inspired by binary code! The finished quilt brings all these pieces together to celebrate creativity, community, and computing in a truly special display.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience this unique fusion of art, computing and community, and try creating a binary square yourself! 

Rachel and Clare will be at CCH across the weekend, running hands-on workshops where visitors can try sewing their own binary square. These sessions will introduce hitomezashi, a traditional Japanese embroidery technique. Originally used to repair and strengthen fabric, hitomezashi connects directly to the themes of CCH's Broken Tech: Broken Earth project - exploring how we can repair and extend the life of our resources.

If you created one of the squares featured in the Cambridge Festival quilt, you are invited to come and see the completed quilt for FREE! The Cambridge Festival organisers will provide you with a discount code for free museum entry. Please select the number of tickets you need and apply your discount code at the checkout.
