St Augustine’s Church is celebrating City of Culture with an exciting community weaving project – fitting given the history, both ancient and modern, of textile industry in the city.
‘The Big Weave’ will encourage residents and visitors to the city to participate in the creation of a series of woven tapestries, the designs of which will draw on the dual themes of Columba and the City Walls and its monuments, both ancient and modern. Once completed the tapestries, along with a photographic documentary of their creation and the thoughts of those involved, will be exhibited in the plaza of the Playhouse Theatre. At the conclusion of the project, St. Augustine’s will present some of the tapestries to the city as its part of the legacy of 2013.
