Tapestry research
We thought that it could be nice to make the work that the children produced in their printing workshop into something that looks like a tapestry which we could then give to a school and that could be a legacy left by us for the project, and a nice gift for them to display in the children's classrooms. Due to time constraints and facilities available, we would not be able to make a completely traditional hand woven tapestry however we can create a background for the artwork and sew all of the pieces together on a sewing machine.
About Tapestries
Tapestries are one of the oldest forms of woven textiles, dating all the way back as 3000bc in ancient Egypt. Common materials used to make them are wool, silk and linen, and more recently cotton and other modern materials. Tapestries were often made in the UK and other places in Europe but they can be found all around the world, below there are examples from Morocco and India. The Tapestries are made by being hand woven on a loom.

I think this would tie in with our project nicely, as Tapestry is quite a traditional and often done in Britain, and it can also be found in many other cultures around the world which ties in with our theme of cultural diversity. It also ties in quite nicely as it brings all the students work together, which is a nice idea.
