The brief: To create an interactive faith display.

The process: Two Thirds Design were invited to St Oswald’s C of E Academy to discuss ideas about promoting the school’s faith. We designed a multi purpose interactive cross. The Prayer Request cross can be used by pupils and staff alike by writing a prayer on a piece of paper rolling it up and inserting it into one of the holes. The cross can also be decorated to celebrate Easter, Christmas or Armistice Day.

The end result: The display was created using clear acrylic drilled and cut to shape, mounted on a printed foamex board.

“The prayer cross is being used by stealth, prayers are just appearing which is wonderful.” Hilary Lorimer – Headteacher
