Peacemakers: Dappled Weave
​

As part of our 10th anniversary we had artists Gardner & Gardner hosting their Peacemakers loom at
Finn's Place from 6th - 10th June 2023.
Through the communal action of knitting on the loom, 'Peacemakers' offered attentive listening in a quiet hospitable space. Bringing together elements of contemporary art practice, craftivism and Christian spiritual accompaniment, the installation focusses on peacemaking at a personal and relational level, building peace through many small actions and kind words. 

Throughout the week people coming into the building were invited to take part and knit on the loom, in conversation with Peter & Heidi. 
​

​When the piece was finally completed, Peter & Heidi felt that the title of the piece in the garden should be: 'Peacemakers: Dappled Weave.'
Some comments from those who took part: A lovely relaxing time of an enjoyable activity.
The peacemakers was inspiring to see as it completes the unity sisters show which focus on how one action make a  big difference in life of somebody. It take only a good ear to listen to the other person. 
I loved this, the columns, the idea of small stitches leading to a beautiful large coloured ball, like our planet from space. A meditation. 
I really enjoyed this. Simple and relaxing. It’s going to be beautiful! 
Had such a lovely time yesterday, back for another go. 
It was very relaxing and enjoyable. I liked it because it didn’t matter how fast or slow I was going. I also liked making characters for each colour, I would highly recommend trying it. 
Very informative, love and relaxing, great form of meditation, great for families and children. 
A beautiful activity in a beautiful space – thank you for the opportunity! 
Lovely peaceful project, it’s also beautiful.

Great to art and community together in such a welcoming space.
