Pulling Together have been working on an exciting project together with Heartstone. We were recently contacted by SitaKumari a dancer and director of Heartstone and sent copies of the book The Heartstone Odyssey. The group decided that we would produce our own Heartstone Odyssey Banner with images that were relevant to the story the young women were all reading. After a few weeks we had collected enough images to begin to plan the banner. Sessions were built around the reading and discussing issues raised whilst reading including racism, intolerance, diversity and accepting that although we are different we need to work together to build better communities.
After we had selected which images to use we began to convert them into embroidery files. After preparing the fabric and deciding the layout we spent the next few sessions using the machine to embroider the panels.
