21st October

Friday. Back at Tullie House for the final day, or so I thought! Unfortunately the Tullie sewing machine hadn’t sewn the fabric to make the Wall background and the iron had problems with the dye sticks, so it was 2 steps back before we began. The team pulled together and we had a fantastic day! Perceptive postcards were written on the remaining ones from the Vindolanda recycling project, designs were embossed onto metal foil and assembled and we spent part of the day ironing - not something I particularly enjoy! By the end of the day we had the background fabric attached to the armature mesh and a box full of fantastic designs and words ready for assembly. We hope to have this up in the gallery by the end of 4th November and photographed ready to recreate this at the final exhibition at the Sill. Thank you so much Tullie Art Group - good work!
