Thixendale Textile Project
In preparation for the refurbishment of the village hall, our next adventure is to create a number of ‘Thixendale Textile Panels’.
These panels will be hung in the new hall, and will reflect local themes such as the history of the village, farming, leisure, education, childhood experiences, transport, people, and events.
Each panel will show changing events (e.g. farming from horse-drawn tackle to computerised tractors). Memories new and old will be used and there is no limit yet to the panels or selections.
Many different forms of craftwork will be used to create the final panels, so anyone who can sew, knit, stitch, paint, draw, glue, saw or hammer will be very welcome.
We are interested in your ideas for the individual elements that should go into the pictures on the panels. Other ideas for themes are also welcome. Please drop off ideas to the village store, or give them to the lottery ticket collectors by the end of April. (Alternatively email textile@thixendale.org.uk )
A gathering will be organised on May 10th in the Village Hall at 7:30pm to co-ordinate the results.
