This was my fourth project as ‘Artist-in-Residence’ for this very creative new primary school in Middlesex. I was commissioned to make four large wall hangings for the school’s meeting room.

The theme we decided on was the four elements. The first stage involved getting lots of ideas and drawings from groups of children.

I wanted a creative and fun hands-on experience for the children. They were able to choose from all the different fabrics, threads, braids, buttons & beads etc. and to learn how to sew what they had drawn & cut out.
