Tapestries and Journeys

One of our favourite ways of working is creating wall hangings and tapestries that give everyone a chance to contribute – a square, an image, a word, or a whole beautiful panel!

Tapestries like this are a great way to share stories, capture a moment in time, give a group something to remember and celebrate the unique ways we all express ourselves.
