Helen has also been working on a special project with school children based on poppies, to commemorate the First World War.
Fifteen 9 and 10 year olds have been visiting Helen’s studio, working with batik. Helen will be sewing all the student’s pieces together to produce a large wallhanging, which will be displayed in Walsham le Willows village hall. The Poppy project has achieved Lottery funding.
Helen Dougall will be at the ARTWORKS exhibition 10am – 4pm on Tuesday 15 September 2015.
