The Story of the A6 textile panels

​Stockport Central Library commissioned ARC Centre to produce artwork co-designed and made by Stockport residents and myself.
The project brings together iconic Stockport architecture from Wellington Road South and the original library architectural plans. It celebrates the wealth of information, materials and resources available in the library.
During the design process, photographs of buildings from Wellington Road South and original architectural plans of the library were sourced from the heritage library. Family and adult workshops took place to encourage Stockport residents to participate in the design process.  During these workshops, participants chose their favourite books to be photocopied. They then made collages with them onto a background of the architectural plans of the three floors of the library and colouring sheets of buildings were also completed in a range of colours.
After the workshops, these ideas were then collated  to represent individual contributions and to present the variety of ideas. Final designs were developed through the use of Photoshop and then digitally printed onto organic cotton to reflect the heritage of the Stockport textile industry.
Enthusiastic participants attended workshops at ARC Centre to develop the digital prints with appliqué, hand and machine embroidery. Workshops were on a drop in basis and participants contributed as much time as they wished of the course of three days.
