Woolly Mammoth were commissioned to help the heritage programme at the Church of the Immaculate Conception (St Mary) and St Egwin in Evesham to create a new community tapestry for the town. This activity ran alongside a renovation project at the church.
Residents of Evesham were invited to stitch either a red or green apple, following a single design. They were also invited to stitch their own personalised mark into their mini artwork.
250 stitch kits were made up for distribution to residents of Evesham, including to pupils of a school and residents of a care home. Sue, the Heritage Programme Manager for the church, brought the volunteer stitch team together.
This artwork is inspired by Evesham’s rich heritage of market gardening and the theme of harvest. The final tapestry will be a wall hanging in a mix of vibrant colours which will tour venues in the town.
