Rosa in action at the Harrow classes

The third and final video clip made by Monica Alcazar of the embroidery sessions in Harrow (we've just finished - they were funded by Faiths in Action). This shows Rosa Martyn, of the Royal School of Needlework, in action and talking about her passion for the work. She talks very persuasively of the power that needlework - and stitching - has to bring people together.

A film of the Valentine's Day party

Words failed me when I tried to write about the Valentine's Day party at the Marlborough Hill Centre, Harrow, during our latest embroidery sessions (funded by Faiths in Action.). Monica Alcazar's video clip conveys so much more.  We realised - thanks to Monica - how much film could add to our projects...

First of three films at Marlborough Hill

Monica Alcazar came to a couple of the embroidery sessions at Marlborough Hill, Harrow, and has put together three wonderful video clips.
Can be viewed on YouTube.  This is the first: the other two to follow later in the week.
