Crafts Council x Halina Edwards
This four-part series of playful, collage-inspired rugs have been the outcome of a project between Crafts Council, FLOOR_STORY and Halina Edwards. The rugs themselves are based on the original artworks made by children and parents/guardians during a creative workshop, facilitated by Artist and Educator Halina Edwards. The project resulted in a collection of colourful hand knotted rugs which will be homed in Crafts Councils gallery space based in Angel. ‘It was exciting to see how they responded to the textile examples I demonstrated, and how they completely ran with the techniques in their design.’ Halina Edwards The workshop was part of the Crafts Council’s participation programme, which aims to connect local families and community groups to the Craft’s Council’s new gallery space through artist-led workshops and co-creation projects.
