These cards were produced by artist Jo Harrison as a result of a five week workshop she ran in conjunction with WRVS Heritage Plus, with a group of people from St Catherine's Hospice in Crawley. A set of five cards was produced for each participant, combining graphics and text based on their individual memories.
To see the individual cards please click on each person's name below.
The cards were all collected together in a play chest, which you can see pictures of by clicking here, and to see more photographs from the workshop that produced these artworks please click here.
