Under My Skin
Textile artworks are created by participants with learning disabilities.
Participants with learning disabilities worked with textile artists to create clothes and accessories to express their personal identities and celebrate creativity. From this, an exhibition ran from October 2004 to January 2005.
The project promoted a positive image of people with learning difficulties and helped to break down negative stereotypes.
Project partners: Start and Benchmark Furniture Design & Build (Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust) and Platt Lane Art Group (Manchester Learning Disability Partnership
Funding: Neighbourhood Renewal Fund
