Woo Jin Joo’s project, Re-enchanting Textiles, encouraged people to create their own artwork from old textiles that are no longer wearable or useable. Using drawing, simple sewing techniques and imagination, Woo Jin’s project offered fun, accessible ideas to create a new life for discarded fabrics, encouraging the public to explore how neglected materials they already own can be transformed into items to be cherished.

In:Site is a development opportunity for UK artists and makers who have graduated from a BA or MA craft, art or design course. Each year the new graduates are commissioned to develop a site-specific, publicly engaged project outside, in Cathedral Square, Birmingham. Over 5 days, people can watch or take part in creative projects inspired by the history, physical features, people, stories and life of Cathedral Square.
