Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Great effort at community project by local artist - let's support her
Following a discussion about the design for the Harringay Bridge Banner (in what became the 7th most popular discussion ever on HoL), local artist Rachel Lillie offered to lead a community project to design a banner. This was knocked back by the Council. So Rachel suggested getting local people together to make a banner that would at least represent a local effort at depicting our community and show the sort of thing that could have been done if the Council were more receptive.
She organised an opportunity for folks to get together in Finsbury Park a couple of weeks ago. Disappointingly no one turned up. I went along but got there too late.
But Rachel's not let go and she's trying again. She's putting a huge amount of effort, even putting together little banner making kits and putting them through people's doors:
I think what Rachel's doing is great and would love to see her getting support with the idea. I'm working with the kit that Rachel put through my door the other day with my partner. I'll post a picture of our effort when its done for you all to laugh at. (It will I'm quite sure be risible).

Hi Rachel
Ours is done ... Took me back many years (to pricking fingers at school!). It was fun!
Do you still want to pick up on Saturday?

Should add, apologies, ours is very ladder-centric, as is based on what my son thinks are the most important places in Harringay (so includes a special blob for Cafe Lemon).
All the more reason to get more banners!

I just had to come back and tell you about the lovely afternoon we had with Rachel today at South Harringay Juniors school. Fourteen children from our after-school Art Club joined Rachel and I to create their portions of the banner. It was a really calm, creative and fun session, the children concentrated so hard and demonstrated great sewing skills. Thank you Rachel for starting this project, I hope many more people join in and maybe some other schools get involved?. Thanks for all your hard work Rachel today, you were brilliant!
Have a look at what the amazing children of SHJS created!
