Our last post for 2015 has a festive touch with these beautiful decorations from Fine Cell Work.

If you’re unfamiliar with Fine Cell Work, it teaches embroidery to inmates in UK prisons who can sell their work to support their families.  The prisoners are taught by volunteers from the ‘Embroiderers and Quilters Guild,’  and they make high quality bags, cushions, pictures, quilts and Christmas decorations, all with a modern aesthetic. Started by Lady Anne Tree in 1997 the aim was to ‘broaden horizons beyond the prison walls and [give prisoners] a brighter outlook on their future.’ With patrons including Kaffe Fassett and Gavin Turk, 60 volunteers train over 400 prisoners.
