This project was part of a wider creative project celebrating Lambeth's history, specifically Lambeth walk and the factory that was the home of Royal Doulton Ceramics. This was an inter-generational project where I lead a group of young people on a walk around Lambeth,with a walk and draw session to gather information on what Lambeth walk is like now. The information collected was used as inspiration when creating handmade felt swatches back at the studio. The felt swatches where then embroidered by an elders sewing club, who added detail reflecting Lambeth past and present. The swatches were then sewn together to create a wall hanging that went up on display at Lambeth walk Surgery.
