"Standing Tall"
A major Community Art Textiles Project!
What was it about?
Wolverhampton Grand Theatre commissioned us to create a 2 storey high Giant to go on public display for Jack & the Beanstalk - but he needed some clothes made from patchwork pieces!
What happened?
We designed and delivered over 20 Textiles Workshops for over 200 local people to make their patch for the Giant's clothes, along with a Beanstalk teeming with insect life. Everyone's patches were sewn together to make his decorative waistcoat and trousers.
