PICTURES from a town's past and present are being woven together in a commemorative artwork.
Images from photographs have been transferred on to silk and embroidered into a banner, celebrating Thirsk as it was and as it is today.
The banner, created by Angela Hayward, of Rural Arts North Yorkshire (RANY), in collaboration with the Museums Service and Hambleton District Council, will hang in Thirsk Museum when it is completed.
RANY community artist Margaret Murphy said: "We have used a technique where you transfer both the old and the new photographs on to silk so they become pieces of textile.
"Then they are embroidered or quilted on to the banner so they have a three-dimensional feel.
"People have brought in their old photographs and some people have taken new pictures, and the idea is to celebrate Thirsk's history."
Some of the pictures used in the banner date back to Victorian times. The finished work will be about one metre square.
Workshops to complete the banner will take place at RANY's headquarters in the old courthouse in Thirsk on September 12 and 13. More details are available on (01845) 526536
