The world could truly benefit from the presence of Nelson Mandela today! This remarkable project was truly life-affirming. Reading his letters to his children reveals the essence of the man. Truly one of a kind.

The frame to our 1955 portrait of Sir William Whitmore of Apley (near Bridgnorth) – whose eyes seem to follow you in the gallery – has been given a much-needed dust with a very special brush!

Some of the things I've been doing this term. It's been so busy I've been struggling to stay engaged despite the overwelm. We have growth rings under a microscope, cute signage for a handplane, a leather replica made from washi paper and plaster, and a penny replica project.
