Welcome to Week Five of Project eARTh’s Mexican Embroidery Project, an exciting and colourful project to cheer us up during winter and lockdown, inspired by embroidery from the Otomi region of Mexico, with Amanda Whewell – artist.
Feel free to join in, by following the PDF Activity Sheet and the short ‘how to’ film, to be found here:

If you are not in Project eARTh but would like your embroidery to form part of our collective finished artwork, please message us or email alison@highpeakarts.org for us to send you some calico, hoops, needles and threads. The final work will be put together for artwork for The Bureau in Glossop. Or of course, use your own materials for embroidery to keep yourself.
For our project, we will leave everyone all Spring and Summer to embroider, and collect the pieces in the Autumn. If you would like to embroider someone else’s design, please get in touchwith alison@highpeakarts.org, too.
