It's surprisingly addictive and quite relaxing to watch: buff.ly/9ATC3Xy

The conservation of the Gideon Tapestries at Hardwick Hall took 24 years to complete. Yes, that's right - 24 years!*

They're huge. 72 meters long and 6m high.

Plus, they're are one of the most ambitious tapestry sets of their time - the largest surviving set in the UK.

Thrilled to have seen 'The Botanical World of Mary Delany' at Beningbrough Hall at last, showcasing many of her beautifully detailed collages. It was also a treat to see 'Women Artists and Designers at the National Trust', including Sabine Winn's collages. Perfect way to start 2025!
Sign within a stately interior, entitled 'The Botanical World of Mary Delany'. Smaller text describes: 'Mary Delany (1700-1788) transformed ordinary materials into extraordinarily beautiful artworks. Created by delicately painting, cutting, and layering paper, her floral 'mosaiks' as she called them, were admired for their scientific accuracy. Starting in her early 70s, Delany created over 900 'mosaiks' in ten years, until failing eyesight forced her to stop working. One of Mary Delany's paper mosaiks, 'Portlandia Grandiflora', displayed on a white wall, framed by golden pilasters. The text at the bottom is entitled 'Art and Botany'. Two of Sabine Winn's collages, which were created by cutting out sections of a print and replacing it with fabric. The top image depicts a woman wearing a simple white shift, sitting on a grassy bank. The second image shows a man and a woman walking through a forest, finely dressed in floral material.
