As Summer’s blooms now surround us,
a chance to look back on some floral themes
in our exhibitions and engagement work
Our 2017 Fflora exhibition explored this
theme with a group exhibition of work
by 16 makers in many materials
View the exhibition here
Whilst outside in our courtyard during 2018
we had an abundance of flowers, in an unexpected
material courtesy of Iron Vein
View our Flickr film of the exhibition here
Our Raising The Bar programme in 2017 worked
with maker Helaina Sharpley crafting a meadow
of wire flowers in the courtyard exhibition
created by the students
Here Helaina shows us all how to make
a Clematis flower by drawing with wire

Another maker – Julia Griffiths Jones,
also uses wire to document the world around her.

And you can find out all about Julia’s work
and her inspiration, found in European textiles,

While we all now have time to “stop and smell the roses”
and look more closely at the world around us – both inside
and outside our rooms – perhaps we too can get
#creative and #craft for ourselves a Secret Garden
in any material we choose to.
