Tony Broomhead visited Leeds College of Art and held a workshop with 7 students who put themselves forward. The workshop involved designing a Christmas tree for Holbeck Urban Village in Leeds.

The final tree was made out of wood and holes were cut out of each shelf to allow string to be fed through to hang all of the business cards from it. This is where the name ‘Communitree’ came from.

When the tree was finsihed, it was taken to Marshall Mill at Holbeck Urban Village and both groups had their photographs taken for the newspaper. The trees were then left at Marshall Mill and left on display for everyone to see.
