Textiles with Charlotte Fairclough
Charlotte ran a workshop with the young people in August. The ten young people created postcards written from Goldthorpe, expressing something they would want to say to someone unfamiliar to the area. Charlotte encouraged the young people to use the postcards to voice their real feelings about Goldthorpe through the use of a medium that was new to most of those involved.
