Callington Road: Older Adult Unit Textiles - June Heap

Workshop participant embroidering silk painting Photo by Joanna EspinerTextile artist June Heap has created textiles for the Day Unit of the Older Adult Unit. They help to make the space welcoming and reassuring.

June has involved service users and staff through 8 participatory workshops to create these textiles. They used a variety of techniques including silk-painting and beading and learned how to mount and frame each piece.

June has also made 4 textiles using mola and machine stitching techniques using imagery of local land and skyscapes and the photographs, collages and prints made by participants during the workshops.
