Creating Our Patchwork
Appendix 76 - 3/4/16
Creating My Items for the Stall
As I am putting together the patchwork quilt, prepared our Prezi for the verbal presentation and did all the posters for our project, I had less items to make for a stall. However, with the 15 pieces of fabric that I had, I created these 13 hand stitched mice, which can be used as either pin cushions, or small toys.
Surrey Community College
Another project that I came across was an English based workshop which used the process of tie dyeing to teach students how to write directions. This is an alternate take on the use of textiles and further proves that textiles has a place in society and that it can make a difference in seemingly unusual ways.
“The purpose of the project was to teach the students how to break down a complicated process into steps and write about it clearly, so others can understand and follow that same process. We call this type of writing – process analysis.”
During these workshops, the students were talked through the steps involved in making a tie dye t-shirt, and then were able to choose the designs they wanted, and dye them. This is similar to how we carried out our own workshop - we started off with a brief introduction, explained how to tie dye and showed our participants a few examples of tie dyed fabrics that I made last year.
The lesson in Surrey was reported to have been a fun experience, allowing the students to make bright and beautiful design, much like with our project, and overall I think this project shows how tie dye can bring people together in a fun and inventive way.

Winter HeARTh
Another project that I came across was Winter HeARTh, a series of community art events hosted by Jason Brown. Brown’s aim was to bring the local community together during the winter time, and to lift people’s spirits during the cold, grey months.
This relates to our first idea, of using arts to brighten up Huddersfield, making it a less hostile environment for the homeless. Although we did not end up going fully down that line, we still aimed to bring the community together and to get a wide variety of people engaged in crafting - something that I believe we achieved at The Mission Cafe.
Although the dye involved in one of the Winter HeARTh projects was not directly used on fabric, the bright colours are reminiscent of our workshop and judging by the photographs of the event, a similar atmosphere was achieved. “Community members tie-dyed ice formations on Lee Street Beach with food coloring.” (Dailynorthwestern, 2016)
“Arts and cultural activities bring a lot to a community and they’re important both aesthetically but also important to bring people that live and work and just visit the community together.” (Dailynorthwestern, 2016)

Ellie Hannan
As part of my evaluation, it has become apparent that in order to evaluate our project, it is important to have a comparative project to draw connections from. This will help me to analyse what we were able to achieve, and perhaps to gain an insight into what other projects have been done, and how we compare.
One artist that I came across was Ellie Hannan, who graduated with a B.A. in Interactive Arts at Manchester School of Art in 2013. Much like Christina, Rachel and I, her work focusses around exploring social and pedagogical questions through workshops, community groups and participatory exhibition pieces.
This fits in really well with what we were trying to achieve, as we were able to engage with a community group to create an exhibition of sorts (our patchwork and our stall).
The project that caught my eye was a tie dying workshop that she carried out. There are a few differences, such as the fact that she was not working with a difficult social group, but the resulting fabrics were similar. One key difference was that her resources were not limited, and she was able to allow participants to use needles. This meant that her final pieces were a little more quirky, with embroidered faces and designs making them much more like works of art.
However, hopefully, as Christina, Rachel and I are making our dyed fabric into little items for sale, we will be able to add in some of this quirkiness and crafty charm!
Appendix 75 - 24/3/16
Having completed both of our workshops before our lecture on evaluative methods, we were unable to provide comment cards and did not ask for any formal feedback for our project. In retrospect this was a real shame, although on a one to one level, everybody was very complimentary and made a point to express how much they enjoyed the experience, which was very flattering and rewarding.
However, as I wanted at least one quote from somebody who contributed to the workshop, I got in contact with Samuel again, who kindly sent the following email. He was incredibly positive about the experience and gave me some brilliant topics to mention during my evaluative essay!
“ HI Eleanor,
The two week tie/tye dye sessions overall were a success. Participants were engaged throughout and they enjoyed themselves. Individuals had the chance to take part in two different activities. This was a very good way of allowing people with different interests and skill levels to take part. Eleanor, Christina and Rachel, you all managed the activities and the groups very well. Although it was a new experience running an art group with a diverse and challenging group you would not have guessed this. All three of you maintained a confident and composed manner even when the group or individuals presented a challenge.
Bullet points.
Good communication throughout. In person and by email. From initial contact with me I felt confident that you could achieve what you were trying to do. Very good first impression.
Good response to feedback from me during the planning stages. Good communication between the three of you.
Worked for each other as a team.
Achieved what you set out to, producing small artworks of tie dyes and pastels.
Responded to issues with materials in the first session to improve on first week. It is always good to have some feedback about the negatives or things we can learn from.
However, there are not that many negatives. I think the challenges of difficult behaviour, especially from one individual were handled very well. I would say the thing to learn as a facilitator of a group is to know that your safety, including feeling safe is paramount. Do not handle things in isolation. Ask for help, feel free to move/leave/lock yourself behind a door! This is also a learning experience for me. I have started explaining how we manage risk from individuals focusing on the volunteer and their well being.Thank you for a great couple of the weeks at the Art group.
We all really enjoyed it.
Thanks, Samuel”
Appendix 74b - 20/3/16
Evaluating Our Project Through the Use of Images
During our lecture on evaluative processes, one method of evaluation that caught my attention was using mood boards and imagery to capture your feelings through different parts of the project. As visual images can have a huge impact on your emotion, and can evoke feelings and memories, I believe that this method could really reflect how I was feeling. Therefore, I began looking through old photographs that I had saved on my laptop, thinking about how they can portray different events.
These are a few minimalist thought/mood boards that I came up with.
The first image that caught my eye was this one of White Sands, in New Mexico. To me, this represents the very beginning of the project, when Christina, Rachel and I decided to create our own brief. This was most daunting as there was a vast, open world of opportunities ahead of us, and we had a broad choice of topics, much like the open, sprawling expanse of this national park. Despite this, the bright colours and light tones reflect how I was excited about the project we were going to take on. It would offer us all a chance to really shine and grow as practitioners, as we had the freedom to complete every step of a project, from planning and development to carrying it out.
My second mood board represents the first few weeks of our project, where we were coming across quite a few obstacles. The pine cones on this log had been left by walkers passing by, with everybody adding another on. To me this represents the theme of community running through our project, but it can also reflect how our minds were all quite cluttered with too many ideas, and that we were slightly stressed about how much we had to achieve.
Then, after our meeting with Paul and Samuel, we were a little deflated as we found out about all of the Health and Safety criteria we had to follow, and a lot of our ideas had to be put aside due to our time limit. We were running dry for a few days, just like this cracked mud, and it wasn’t until we had another meeting with Samuel that I finally came up with the idea of doing tie dye, after he had suggested batik.
When we had finally chosen this idea, everything started to unfold, like the petals of a flower, and all of a sudden everything seemed much brighter and achievable. We were coming up with lots of different ideas about our stall, and when it came to our actual workshops, we were able to use bright pink, blue, orange and green dyes, much like these tulips. We were all jubilant about how well things went, especially our second workshop, and to me this picture represents the happiness that we were feeling.
Appendix 74 - 20/3/16
Strengths of Our Project
• We have been able to facilitate two relatively smooth running workshops.
• Successfully involved and worked with ‘difficult’ participants.
• The fabrics that were created during our workshop were bright, beautiful and perfect for making items for our stall.
• We were able to raise money for The Mission Café, which was the main aim of this project.
• Our collaborative patchwork, made up from participant’s drawings was bright, colourful and really fits in with The Mission’s aims of brightening and improving people’s lives.
• Our group functioned well as a team and the workload was fairly equal.
• Everybody attended all of our meetings.
• Very well organised.
• Participants gave us positive feedback on the day and were very complimentary.
• We were able to establish a good working connection with The Mission Café, something that it may be interesting to explore further in the future.
• Completely different to any of my past projects.
• We were able to interact and include different members of the community, and the wider public.
• Passing on a new skill to others.
• Created a calm and enjoyable atmosphere during our workshops, where everyone was able to escape for a while.
• Brilliant communication both with each other and with our connections such as Samuel and Paul, who we successfully worked alongside.
• Stuck to our timetable really well.
• There were no arguments during our project, and we were able to agree on everything, every step of the way.
Weaknesses of Our Project
• The first session of dyeing didn’t create very bright patterns, and we had to re-dye them in the same style.
• Maybe would have been good to run a few more workshops.
• Limited facilities and health and safety regulations really restricted what we could do.
• It would have been great to get participants to make up the items for our stall, but we would not have been able to use sewing machines or needles in the café.
• Would have been great to have some funding to help us run the project.
• Maybe could have used remazol dyes to achieve more bold, bright colours.
• Hard to quantify the success – we will never really know how much of a difference we have made and whether the skills we have passed on will ever be used again.
• In the end, I had to make the Prezi, design, print and put up all of the posters and make the patchwork on my own, meaning that I did a lot more work on the project over Easter than Christina and Rachel. This went against our rule of us all doing the same amount of hours.
• Slightly difficult to work around each other’s time tables at first, as we all have different specialisms.
• Foreword planning went slightly wrong during our first workshop – where we ran out of fabric and I had to run to the market and buy some more.
Opportunities
• It would be great to host another session, perhaps making things to sell and raise more money.
• To raise more money with The Mission.
• Get more people from different specialisms involved with Students on a Mission.
• Could run more specific workshops, rather than just generalised tie dying.
• We have forged a good contact link with The Mission and I am sure that we would be able to work with the art group again.
• Would be interesting to meet with participants of our workshop and find out whether or not our project really did make an impact. Other groups of student may be able to pick up from where we left off and continue helping the community through crafting.
Threats
• Funding, if we want to continue running workshops, it may be difficult for us to continue funding it without help from the University.
• Difficult people entering the café and harming the atmosphere of our workshops.
• Lots of health and safety implications.
• There was a potential for lots of things to go wrong.
• Some people attending could have been violent, which could have put our own personal safety at risk.
• Running out of ideas for potential future workshops.
• In the near future it will be hard to maintain links with The Mission as we will be all over the country doing placements, I live down South and we will be very busy with our final year.
Training – What help and support do we need?
• It would be really useful if we could gain some funding from the University, or other sources in order to continue developing more advanced workshops.
• We could look into ways of doing more varied and intensive activities without compromising people’s health and safety.
• A few more members could join Students on a Mission so that the project would be less labour intensive, and to gain even more ideas about future workshops.
• Donations of materials?
Appendix 73 - 16/3/16
Advertising Our Stall
Today, I created a poster to put up around the university, advertising our stall in the SU. This stall will be running after Easter. I wanted the colour scheme to reflect the Mission Logo, so used the eyedropper tool to create my palette. Furthermore, I wanted to include The Mission’s logo, and refer to it throughout the document through the use of a circular border, again in the same colours.
I chose really bold, large fonts for the text, and matched the font used in the existing Mission logo, to ensure consistency.
Editing the existing logo so that it is larger, and matching the fonts to write our group name.
The final title.
Adding in a colourful border and an image to brighten up the poster and make it more interesting.
After printing out my first draft, I realised that there was a speck of an old red circle that I hadn’t rubbed out, and that I forgot to add in the charity number, so I went back and rectified this. Also, there was a green dot out of line.
The final poster.

Appendix 72 - 15/3/16
Group Meeting - Creating Items For Our Stall
We had a brief ten minute meeting today about our stall, to decide who was making what. I divided up the fabrics and we discussed what each of us were going to make.
Rachel took all of the Amaya’d fabric that Christina and I had stitched, which she will make into earrings.
Christina took just over a third of the fabric to make into pin cushions.
I have taken just less than a third of the fabric, as I did the Prezi for our verbal presentation, created the poster for our stall and because I am putting together our patchwork.
Appendix 70- 14/3/16
My Own Evaluation
What aspect of the activity do we want evaluated?
When evaluating a project, it is really important to have set aims about the conclusions you want to draw. For example, do you want to evaluate the project as a whole, or in great depth, element by element. In terms of this project, as there were so many stages involved, I think that it will be best if we evaluate each sub-genre individually, rather than the project as a whole.
Here are a list of the elements of our project that I would like to evaluate:
Our meetings
Our efficiency as a group
The distribution of our workload
Workshop 1
Workshop 2
Our verbal presentation
Organizing our stall
Our stall
As we have been going on, I have been assessing all of our work so far, keeping a set of notes, minutes and reflecting on our practice as a whole, so this step should be relatively simple.
Who are the people that are going to be involved?
Due to the difficult situations of many attending our workshops, privacy is key when evaluating this project. Ethically, it is of the utmost importance that we do not reveal any of the participant's identities, for example, we haven’t been able to upload or take any photographs of people carrying out their tie dye.
How should the evaluation be undertaken?
A Creative Evaluation - I would like to create a mood board which reflects on my practice, which will express my feelings during the project and what we have achieved.
Mind Mapping - It will also be really useful to create a mind map for each sub-division of the project, displaying the strengths and weaknesses of each element in different colours. This will slot in with what we learnt about Bin and Bag it, showing what I want to take forward and what I want to leave behind.
Speaking to Samuel - As we will not be able to contact those who took part in our workshop, for privacy reasons and because we have already run our workshops (it is too late now to ask for comment cards to be filled out), I will try and contact Samuel to see if he has any feedback that I can analyse. This will be a completely unbiased evaluation and will show how effective our project has been at benefiting others, and the charity.
An Overall SWOTT Analysis - The final type of analysis that I would like to do for this project is a SWOTT analysis. This technique lends itself to summarizing the project as a whole. By using this technique I will be able to create a complete overview, with suggestions about future development and what could have been improved, as well as positive outcomes.
What support and resources will need to be in place?
To complete these tasks, I will need paper, pens, a way of communicating with Samuel.
What do we propose to do with the evaluation findings/ How will the findings impact the project?
In the future, I would really like to become involved in charity work, and I have a keen interest in textiles as a means of therapy. Therefore, by evaluating this project, I will be able to take away the strengths and weaknesses and apply them when hopefully running future workshops.
Also, it would be great to get involved with The Mission Cafe again, perhaps in our final year, so it would be brilliant to be able to analyse how we could do this, and create an even better experience for our participants.

My Speech for our Presentation
As I had already created our Prezi, with 9 different headings, I thought it would be a good idea to stick to these as categories to speak alongside each slide. As there are three of us involved in the project, and there were 9 headings, we each took three topics to talk about. Nobody had a preference about what topic they wanted to cover, although Rachel suggested that it would be best to rotate around, doing one heading each, and then repeating that process three times.
Then, I sub-divided what topic we were going to say:
Brief introduction to our presentation and our brief – what did we choose and why – Rachel
Group dynamics – Christina
Initial thoughts and developments – Eleanor
Meetings, trips and communication – Rachel
Our Inspiration - Christina
Our Lightbulb moment – Eleanor
Timeline – Rachel
Speaking about good practice and risk assessment – Christina
Our aims and intentions – Eleanor
Initial Thoughts and Developments
After our first lecture, where the project briefs were handed out, Rachel, Christina and I were really excited by the idea of being able to create our own project brief. However, the freedom of such a vague overall theme – community, was somewhat daunting. Faced with a blank canvas, we were amazed by how many options lay ahead of us.
Therefore, in order to find an initial direction so that we could get started, we held a small meeting after the lecture. During this meeting, we created a collaborative mind map covering different project ideas that we could pursue. It didn’t take us long to narrow our ideas down to helping the homeless and collaborating with a local charity, although we also had a few ideas about working with struggling students or local schools.
After a while, we came up with the idea of collaborating with The Mission Café. The Mission help vulnerable members of society, offering them advice and shelter, as well as subsidised meals at their café. Initially we thought about trying to run a pay it forward scheme with the cafe, involving decorating mugs to sell and raise money for the charity. We also began to consider the idea of sculpting donated books, creating upcycled sculptures and finding ways to try and brighten up communal areas and public spaces.
In the end, we focussed in on the idea of running a stall in the SU, and decided to run a series of tie dying workshops, then using the fabric to create products to sell.
Our Lightbulb Moment
Our main lightbulb moment occurred when we visited the Mission Café for the second time in order to attend their Thursday art group. While we were there, taking part in their crafting activity – creating paper mosaics, we were able to gain an insight into the skill level of those attending. We were also able to speak to the visitors about what sort of crafts they really enjoy doing at the group.
While we were discussing possible options, a few people suggested glass painting, making cards, doing something to do with chocolate decorating and doing batik work. The real lightbulb moment however, was when Samuel mentioned batik, as some fabric paints and crayons had been donated to the cafe. However, we would not be able to do traditional batik in the workshop due to the use of boiling hot wax, which poses a health and safety dilemma.
However, this suggestion led us to come up with the idea of tie-dying fabric. Tie dye is a really versatile technique that can be done by people of all skill levels and that is also safe. Once we had come up with this idea, we were able to run with it, deciding on different items that we can make from the fabric, such as pincushions, earrings and cards. These are all items that should be really easy to sell, especially as tie dye gives you the opportunity to create some beautiful patterns and bright colours.
Our Aims and Intentions
Our overall aim for this project, as aforementioned, is to raise awareness and funds for the Mission Café through the sale of handmade products at the SU. At this point, we have already planned out the entire timeline for our project and have completed the vast majority of our aims. We have come up with our project brief, sourced all of the materials that we needed for our workshops, hosted our two workshops, fixed all of the fabric drawings and ironed out all of the tie dyed fabric.
However, all of this was just the first phase of our project. Now that we have collaborated with The Mission and engaged in three community workshops, we have all the resources ready to start preparing for our stall. In the past, Rachel has run her own stalls where she has sold hand crafted items, and we have decided to build upon her knowledge. We are going to meet up over a few days to make fabric button earrings, handmade cards and pin cushions.
We also have a stall booked in the SU on the 11th and 12th of April, where we will be selling these items.
The final phase of this project is to make up all of the drawings that people created during our workshops into a collaborative quilt. We came up with this idea when we saw how it would be difficult to make the drawings up into the aforementioned items as they would lose a lot of their detail. Therefore, we thought that a quilt would be a great way to show off the beautiful designs and to display some of the art group’s work in the café itself.
Appendix 67 - 27/2/16
Creating Our Prezi
As Christina was having a bit of a hard time before our presentation, and as Rachel does not know how to use Prezi, I offered to create our background presentation. I have only used Prezi once before, but thought it would be interesting to try it out, as I find that Prezi presentations are far more visually appealing than normal PowerPoints.
I began by adding in some basic circles, each of which will make up a frame, and then added in one of the photographs from our workshop.
Then, I decided to change the colours of the circle so that they represent the colours used in The Mission’s logo. I chose the order red, yellow, blue and green and set this to repeat throughout the presentation.
After adding in the coloured circles, I decided that the orange background clashed quite badly, so therefore switched over to a pink and white tie dye piece, with tie-dyed rings to compliment the Prezi circles. I also took a quick look at what the piece looks like without any background.
Then, I added in some curvy arrows, again following the same colour and order scheme. The use of really curvy arrows worked well with the circle set up, and I was really pleased with how this turned out!
Setting up the order of the slides.
Once again, I decided that the background was too much, so I took out the photograph. This made all of the colours and text stand out much more.
One key thing that I wanted to do with this presentation was to add in lots of brightly coloured images and visuals, to add interest. Therefore, I had to work out how to get circular photographs that wouldn’t cut off parts of the circles. I found a piece of online software that allowed you to crop the photo into a square, and then round the edges to make it into a circle.
I chose a really bold heading font and a large text size so that everything would be really clear. I also didn’t want too much text on each slide, as this would look cluttered and would be unclear.
Adding in more slides, one for each of our topics and a few picture slides as well.
Free flowing design.
Appendix 65 - 25/2/16
This week during our CAD lesson, I went back to looking at the designs created by those at The Mission Cafe a few weeks ago. I was really interested by the bright, unabashed use of colour and the bold shapes and styles. Unlike the drawings done at the Mission, my background in textiles and design made me want to regiment the shapes, and therefore my designs had no wobbling lines and the repeats all made sense. In a way, this lost some of the homely qualities of the drawings, but the graphic nature of my sketches lends itself to more commercial projects. For example, the triangular designs would look amazing as dangling earrings made from laser cut plastic.

University of Huddersfield Department of Fashion and Textiles - BA/BSc (Honours) Textile Practice
Self-Prepared Brief. Module Code – THD1335. Creative Professional Practice. Contemporary Practitioner: 8 Week Self Written/Live Brief.
Brief Description of Project:
During this project, Christina Cope, Rachel Critchley and I will be carrying out a series of workshops at The Mission Café in Huddersfield. During these workshops, we will teach participants how to tie dye and then we will make the fabric up into earrings, cards and pin cushions to sell and raise money for the charity. Another aspect of this project will be to create a community patchwork out of the drawings also done at the café. This will be hung in a communal space in the café, brightening up the room and giving back to the community and those who took part in our workshops.
Context:
The context of this project is to give back to the community and to give back to those in need, teaching them a new skill and offering a calm and relaxing activity where they can enjoy themselves. There are members of our community who are living in difficult situations and art therapy is a very beneficial way of helping those in need.
Audience:
Our target audience for this project is anyone who visits The Mission Café, and who attends the Thursday afternoon art group during our sessions. Also, the earrings, cards and pin cushions that we are selling are to be sold to students and lecturers who pass through the Student Union (SU).
Project Aims:
The main aims for this project are to host a couple of fun workshops for those who visit the café and to raise some money for the charity.
Project Requirements. Resources Required and How Will We Carry Out Our Project?
To carry out this project, we will approach the Mission Café and see whether it will be possible to collaborate with them. Then, if this is possible, we will attend one of the existing art classes, carry out two of our own workshops and then make up the resulting fabric into items for sale and a patchwork. It will be important for us to establish a good relationship with those attending the workshops and we will have to carry out health and safety risk assessments to ensure that everyone is safe.
Time Plan:
Start Date: 19/01/16
Attending a Group Art Session: 29/01/16
Run Our Own Workshops: Between 4/02/16 and 11/02/16
Verbal Presentation: 1/03/16
Make Up Items for Our Stall: Between 12/02/16 and 10/04/16
Run Our Stall: Between 11/04/16 and 13/04/16
Appendix 63 - 17/2/16
Today, I also went to the SU to chase up information about running our stall. We had initially booked the 7th, 8th and 9th of March but it turns out that these dates are not available. Therefore, we have postponed to the 11th and 12th of April.
My Email:
Hi Emily,
It is Eleanor (I popped in earlier about running a textiles stall).
Would it be possible to run it for a few days between the 11th and 22nd of April?
Thank you,
Eleanor
Emily’s Response:
Hi Eleanor, I have emailed Estates and requested the space outside the Students’ Union Shop/ Starbucks for the 11th, 12th and 13th of April. I will let you know ASAP when I get a response. Thank you, Lizzy Kepczyk
