Group projects
This page includes some of our past group projects and events.
Peg people made for one of our exhibitions… each member was asked to make a peg to describe themselves.
As part of our world theme for the exhibition, Karen Griffiths taught us how to make Indian inspired bags.karen has a web page at www.karengriffiths.webs.com where you can catch up with her research.
Other past group projects have included the Environment panel for the Leeds Millenium Tapestry. The panels were designed by Kate Russell, and our hooked panel was mainly hooked by Margaret Kenny, Isobel Waterhouse and Diane West, although most of the group put in a few loops. Details of all the panels can be seen at www.leedstapestry.org.uk
For the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations we all made rugs from designs by local school children.
Rugs were made for two museums in Halifax, Bankfield Museum and Shibden Hall, designed by Kate Russell and Diane West:
A rug which told the story of liqorice was designed by Diane West and Margaret Kenny for an exhibition at Pontefract Museum.
Other projects have included a rug hooked plate rack of Clarice Cliffe inspired plates, small rug pictures featuring all the months of the year, and “tall and skinny” a series of small squares worked by each member of the group, and then sewn into a wall hanging.
