Textile wall hanging, Jen Chamberlain and Di Burch, Slough Library, 2001
The textile piece explores patterns and symbols from different cultural backgrounds. Individual parts of the pattern were designed and made by local people and the artists incorporated these patterns together into the final magical design.
Workshops led by the artists were held over a six-month period. Jen Chamberlain and Di Burch worked with the Polish Association, Thames Valley Infant School, Manor Park Age Resource Centre and William Street Day Centre and a range of traditional and experimental techniques and materials were introduced to the participants.
