Community textiles project
Be part of an exciting textiles project to celebrate our beautiful town! Led by our amazing volunteer Teri, we're creating a banner depicting much-loved places in Berkhamsted - to be hung in the Town Hall when life returns to normal.
We'd love you to make a 4” x 6” picture featuring one of the scenes below (lots of other landmarks are already in progress). You'll need to leave enough room around it so it can be joined to the other pieces when we put it together. It can be hand or machine embroidered, with collage.
The train station
The round street lights and railings opposite the station
Pubs (The Boat is taken)
Churches (St Peters is taken)
Schools
Sports centre
Playgrounds
Coffee shops
Library
Police station
Market
Raiders football team
Tennis club
The Multi Storey Car Park
Dean Incents House
The Hospice
Or if you'd rather work a smaller piece then you could choose to make a 2” x 2” logo or badge of Waitrose/ Tesco/ HSBC/ Castle Village.
Just let us know what you pick so we can tick it off the list by emailing comms@opendoorberkhamsted.co.uk. If you don't have the materials you need, we'll send you a pack, free of charge. We can't wait to see what you create!

"I popped into Open Door for a Qigong class and liked it so much, I decided to become a volunteer. I love helping in the cafe and meeting visitors, artists and other volunteers. They are some of the most interesting and talented people in the area." Sue
