October 2008 – Largest Diffraction Pattern in the World!

October saw the start of a new project to create a hanging depicting the diffraction pattern of one of the protein crystals discovered at Diamond.

The aim is to make a piece of community art work approximately 2.70m x 2.70m in which 5000 people participate. This hanging will be finished for display at the AAAs Science Festival which will be held in Chicago in February 2009.

The first outing for the piece was the Fashion and Embroidery Show at Harrogate where Designs for Life were on display. Here over 1000 people contributed their stitches to the project giving us a really fantastic start.
