thamesmead Community Picnic blanket

A picnic blanket installed at the Thamesmead Festival that serves as a communal space for people to gather and enjoy their day. 

“My hope is that the blanket provides a colourful, town-inspired tapestry for sitting, eating, and sharing moments together.

Given that the festival is such an annual celebration of positivity and culture in Thamesmead, I aim to create a space where everyone can come together and enjoy the day.

The blanket will showcase the magic of Thamesmead with illustrations of its buildings, nature, people, and art scene. It will highlight shapes and colours that celebrate the beauty surrounding us." - Paige
