Every project has a story to tell - the ups, the downs, the challenges, the successes, the people, the inspiration, the community spirit...
The Tapestry creation has been a community project, involving project managers, historians, artists, textile specialists, textile novices (women, men and children), photographers, conservation framers and IT specialists from across Rochford District and beyond. The Tapestry has consequently been a collaborative effort, designed to bring people together and to encourage them to share their knowledge and experience. Everyone involved in the project has learned a lot – about the District’s history, about artwork, about textile techniques and about teamwork and community spirit.
The whole story of the Rochford District Heritage Tapestry community project would fill many pages, so this is just an extract, starting early in 2019. Brief project journey articles will be added from time to time to build the entire storyline.

Well maybe a little more work was involved than just a few stitches!...
