Give the clothes of the dead a life beyond by stitching them into a new altar cloth being made over the two days by embroidery artist Charlotte Macmillan, who makes costumes for Boy George and John Grant.
When someone you loves dies, what do you do their clothes? For some disposing of the dead clothing can be a real source of distress.
"There is an alternative to getting rid of all the clothes or keeping them boxed', says Charlotte, 'Make them into an artwork.'
Charlotte will be a creating an new altar cloth for St.Cuthberts' Church.
'I will be sewing on site, a large altar piece made entirely from these donated items of clothing. It will be a community based artwork that can be thought of as a bereavement process;
'As we stitch and plan the piecing of these clothes, we will remember and memorialise the person who inhabited them.'
There will be the opportunity to work with Charlotte on this piece by hand sewing or embroidering personal messages into the cloth. At the end of Saturday, the Day of the Dead, the piece will be completed and available to view in the Church itself.
