Creating Links by Heather Black

 Heather has been taking part in a joint project between the WI and Chelsea College of Art.

Students and WI members worked on a number of the themed campaigns championed by the Women's Institute to bring about social and political change. Heather elected to work on the theme of  combatting loneliness.

Heather made a series of links made from naturally dyed fabrics - weld, madder and indigo - with buttons and buttonholes so the can be linked and relinked as friendships are formed. All hand stitched.

A virtual gallery of all the work made as part of this joint project is planned.
