• ReThread Project Information

  Thu 11 Jan 2024

  Year 5KA and 2RS took part in a project focused on the textile industry and its link to the environment.  This was called Re-Thread and asked groups to create giant 'sequins' that will be linked together to create a giant art project across the city next year.  We created about 40 sequins and sent them off to the project lead.  They are now with the artist who is linking these together to create 10 giant pieces that will be displayed to the public next year across Leicester (For example in The Curve Theatre, The Highcross shopping centre etc.). 

   

  The Project Information is now available and the exhibition starts on Saturday 13th January.  Please use the link to find out more details.
