Forever changes

Being the art student that I am, I have recently started to feel an overwhelming need to visit every gallery possible...and with this one being textiles based (I'm hoping to specialise in textile design, you see) I couldn't say no to the oppurtunity to pop in.

Ruthin Craft Centre is currently exhibiting a vast range of work which documents Michael Brennand-Wood’s practice over forty years. His fascination with the geometric beauty of stitch structures, resulted in him producing a series of grid works in which stained and painted wood was threaded and wrapped with yarn, fabric or paper. 

And of course, after a hard morning of trundling around a pretty large gallery, the obvious thing to do was stop in at the cafe on the way out. Even though we only had a light lunch (they do make a mean open sandwich), their cake display was amazing...I did have my eye on a cheeky chocolate brownie!

So to any of you fellow 'arty' people, or those who just like the odd gallery from time to time, I would most definitely recommend that you visit Ruthin. As well as the fact that the main exhibitions are ever changing (Michael Brennand-Wood is running until 25th November), there are a few smaller studios which you can have a look at as well. Then again, you could just go for the cake...
