31 July 2023

On Friday we spent the day at Yorkshire Sculpture Park visiting Lindsey Mendick's exhibition at the Weston gallery and taking part in a clay workshop creating creatures inspired by the exhibition. A big thank you to Emma and Sally from Yorkshire Sculpture Park for hosting us for the day - we had a fantastic time!
