Fair Trade: Material Matters initiated in 2007 by artist Jane Frost shows contemporary self-portraits, drawn by other artists, collected and stitched in woad dyed yarn onto recycled blankets. See www.fairtradematerialmatters.org for the online work and community of artistsFair Trade: Material Matters is a fair trade exchange within the art community, a deliberate comment on financial value placed on work, often not to benefit artists. Hand stitched, recycled blankets are the material matter creating the physical work, exploring the process of making in the context of sustainable actions and relationships. St Helens Church will exhibit Fair Trade: Material Matters and show the process of work. Part of the church will be used as a gallery and studio for talks, workshops and conversations. There will be opportunity to draw your self portrait. Jane will be available to discuss the work with groups at prearranged times and be taking commissions for stitched portraits from individuals and organisations. www.fairtradematerialmatters.org
