Theatr Clwyd collaborated with visual artist, Ticky Lowe, to develop a concept for their banner to commemorate 100 years since women were able to vote. They decided to have ‘Celebrating Welsh Women in the Arts’ as their theme, and the participants decided which women were represented.
The group didn’t hold back when designing their banner and were keen to make it as elaborate and flamboyant as they could, using as many sewing techniques as possible. It was important to use colourful fabrics and also to emphasise the Suffragette colours.
Theatr Clwyd is a regional arts centre near Mold, Flintshire, in northeast Wales.
Ticky Lowe is a freelance artist, project manager, consultant and collaborator. She creates interactive and multi-sensory artwork and interpretation for museums galleries.
