Patches!

Here is a selection of the fantastic, unique and creative patches we’ve had in for The Patch Project  – thanks to all those who’ve contributed.  We hope they inspire you to try something new – we promised you it was something everyone could do! 

 

If you’ve made a patch but not submitted it yet – don’t worry – you can send it in to us this week or bring it in in person to our offices – Leisure & Culture, City of York Council, 18 Back Swinegate, York, YO1 8ZD.

 

If you’ve made a patch and would like it to feature in our gallery, drop us an email with a photo attached – adult.education@york.gov.uk.
