TEXTILES artwork now on show is raising hundreds of pounds for a charity founded in Petersfield.
Scores of schoolchildren and established artists are just some of the participants in the Canine Partners’ Textile Art Challenge.
They have made a range of creative products, including doggy draft excluders, collages and quilted dog blankets, from packs of fabric scraps sold to raise the cash.
And these are on display at the Oxmarket Centre of Arts in Chichester, until Sunday (April 30).

This will help the charity, which was founded in Steep Marsh in 1990, continue its work of training assistance dogs to transform the lives of disabled people.
Canine Partners’ community fundraiser Jenny Dwyer-Ward said: “Participation in the challenge has been fantastic. There are some really lovely pieces. It’s wonderful to see the work of acclaimed artists and makers alongside that of all our challenge participants.”
The exhibition at the gallery off East Street, Chichester, is open to the public from 10am to 4.30pm.
