Women's Centenary Suffragettes Project

I've had the pleasure of working with 4 groups in Bolton on a Women's Centenary Project celebrating 100 years since (some) women got the vote.  It was organised by the Drummond Street Craft and Culture Group, supported by Lesley Tyrer and Christine Baldwin the Community Champion at Asda on Blackburn Road.  The groups made banners, decorations, sashes and rosettes.  It culminated in a community tea party.

Made in Bolton

Went to see the 'Made in Bolton' exhibition at Asda created by the very talented Drummond Street Craft and Culture group. The workshops and exhibition were sponsored by Christine Baldwin the Community Champion of Bolton Asda who works with Lesley Tyrer the activities coordinator for Bolton at Home Sheltered Housing Scheme.  The group meets on Monday's 10-12.

The work was about the daily lives of Mill Workers in Bolton.  We experimented with Gelli Plate printing and fabric image transfer.  The work they made was amazing.
