Project Overview
Located outside of Charlotte, All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Concord sought to incorporate existing elements of their space into a new set of green paraments and vestments. The kneelers in the chancel, lovingly crafted by members of the congregation, feature scrollwork with lilies and grapes. Paired with the church’s emblem, these elements became the foundation for a design that honors the parish’s history while expressing new growth.
Rooted in Tradition
The design draws directly from elements already present in the church.
The hand-stitched kneelers, created by members of the congregation, provided both motif and meaning, with their detailed scrollwork, lilies, and grapes.
These were paired with the church’s emblem, adapted from stained glass in the choir loft, creating a visual language that feels both familiar and renewed.
The Installation
This project reflects a balance between tradition and new expression—honoring what has been created by the community while opening space for what is still growing.
A Cohesive Liturgical Set
Each element was designed as part of a unified set, carrying the same visual language throughout the sanctuary.
