Copenhagen
I have recently visited Copenhagen where my son is currently studying at the university. I left Denmark with the thought that the Danish way of life is both considerate and considered. The Danes are committed to sustainability and there is evidence of this everywhere. The use of natural materials and the blending of old and new architecture are both outstanding. I knew that I would love the art and the design and I did. Highlights were Designmuseum Denmark, The National Gallery of Denmark and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. I saw thought-provoking exhibitions at each and the touring Pussy Riot exhibition at Louisiana was incredibly moving. It is a country that makes one think.
York Makers Winter Fair
Here is a date for the diary and I am really looking forward to having a stall at this lovely event.
Explore York Workshops
For the Summer Reading Challenge 2023 Explore York have a fantastic range of activities and events for children during the school holidays. I will be running nine upcycled creations workshops at nine different libraries and all the details can be found in the programme on page nine. The workshops are all free but places need to be booked.
