The University of Sunderland
The Fablab
The University of Sunderland's Fablab experience was a highlight for both young and old alike. The Fablab staff worked with 36 children to help them create their own Syedpur designs that were then transferred to a T-Shirt Design. The project also worked with a smaller group of young Asian women form the Bangladesh community, who developed and created vinyl printed Henna designs, that were used as part of the final exhibition.
