Artist Adrián Balseca used over 1200 pieces of yellow card to create the work that hangs from the ceiling in Gallery 2.

Based on the yellow fly paper that he noticed when visiting , Balseca took pages from the first Michelin Guide to Great Britain published in 1911, printing the card in DCA Print Studio to produce the cloud like installation.

💐 A beautiful bunch of paper flowers 💐

These were created at our Craft Sunday with Natalia Manczak, using colourful used Italian crepe paper. A lovely, relaxed workshop and some great results - here's what people had to say:

"What a joyful workshop - assisted by helpful and happy people."
"Wonderful as ever."
"I had such a wonderful time learning from Natalia."
"I love my flowers - I will be making more and look forward to the next workshop."

For our Next Craft Sunday we'll be joined by S.K Works, who will be showing us how to create some stylish leather accessories and helping us to personalise them. Book now: https://tinyurl.com/he9zmr5j
