Andrew Crummy - Tapestry Titan Part 2 [NX070]

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Andrew Crummy..

Andrew Crummy is the designer and project manager of the Great Tapestry of Scotland. This is the second part of our NeedleXChange and we talk about some of the other Tapestry projects that Andrew has been involved with, including the Dundee Tapestry, the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry and the Cancer Tapestry.

It's a great chat that really reinforces the value in communal stitching projects and visual storytelling.

For a similar conversation on participatory needlework projects, listen to my XChange with Liz Kueneke..
