Brilliant Bird Bags To Be Rescheduled!

Owl Bag

Today we had hoped to deliver the first craft activity for adults, ‘Brilliant Bird Bags’, related to the exhibition Mockingbird.

Sadly the artist has De Quervain’s tenosynovitis and must rest their wrist as much as possible. Although the artist has been looking forward to delivering the craft activity,  it will not help the recovery and hopes you all understand!

The craft activity will be rescheduled as soon as possible (all being well in July or August). Please note those of you who have booked a place for today’s session will have priority when the date has been rescheduled and will be contacted individually. Then any remaining spaces will be offered out generally.

In the meantime why not come along and see the exhibition at Trowbridge Museum, get inspired for what you would like your ‘Brilliant Bird Bags’ to look like. Also see details of other adult craft activities which are booking up quickly.

We hope Sarah makes a ‘flying’ recovery!

Sarah (Exhibitions & Arts Officer) and Jan (Artist) have been busy bees! We now have marketing material, Mockingbird A5 Postcard and posters, promoting the programme of events taking place during Mockingbird.The exhibition which opens on Saturday 3rd May 2014 at 10.30am coincides with the first day of Cloth Road Arts Week.

Jan’s work is outstanding. The quality of work is subtle, presenting influences of her response to textiles in the collection. The craft activities she will deliver over the course of the summer are something not to miss and they are free to participate!
