Embroidered wall hanging created to depict mining in Cornwall


A group of women have created a hand-stitched and embroidered wall hanging to celebrate Cornwall’s mining history.

The work began in 2023 at Heartlands, a mining heritage site which closed permanently earlier this year.

The women involved found a new place to create their wall hanging at archive centre Kresen Kernow in Redruth, and it has been on display since Monday.

Ann Chalker, from the community creations group, said she came up with the idea to display the art to “try to include people to come in from the community”.

The wall hanging shows different pieces of art which are related to mining.

Michelle Brown is another member of the group.

She said she had been to Australia in the past year, and said: “Some of these pieces of material have been to Australia and back.

“As time went on we got a bit more ambitious, we put photographs onto fabric and different trimmings and media to bring out the stories.”
