The brainchild of Penny Allen, The Red Suitcase Project is an exciting community Quilting project that sees a collaboration between the Courtyard- Centre for the Arts, Hereford College of Arts and three care residencies throughout Herefordshire.
Armed with a textile-treat laden red suitcase, 3-4 students from Hereford College of Arts will visit each residential care home on a weekly basis to teach the residents quilting techniques. But the vintage red suitcases aren't just for holding creative goodies! They're there to provide a springboard of conversation- evoking ideas on travel, holidays and adventures. The discourse that springs from this will hopefully be stitched into the quilt: providing a creative piece of work that speaks of the shared experiences from the residents and students.
This blog will be the storage place for all of the exciting work that occurs over the project, so keep tuned to learn out more about this up-and-coming Arts and Older people activity!
