Community needlepoint project seeks participants to 'ThreadIN'
Be part of a community project to create a large needlepoint artwork in collaboration with Jessie Deane, a renowned local artist.
ThreadIN will bring together people from all walks of life to work collaboratively on a large-scale artwork representing harmony and respect.
Over 6 months, participants will be mentored by Jessie to create a single needlepoint artwork. When completed the individual pieces will be joined together to form a large-scale collaborative needlepoint artwork to be exhibited as part of the 16 Days of Activism program in November.
This project is proudly sponsored by Victoria University’s Respect & Responsibility Initiative.
