Cosmic Threads - celebrating 80 years of Jodrell Bank
To celebrate the 80years of Jodrell Bank, they are calling on individuals and groups to create a 23cm x 23cm textile panel that reflects the themes of Jodrell Bank's extraordinary history and its ongoing contributions to our understanding of the universe.
Each square will become a part of a larger quilt, embodying the spirit of Jodrell Bank's 80-year journey.
