New display wall finished
Over the past couple of weeks we have been busy taking down and rebuilding the partition in the Project Space, giving us a fabulous new display wall.

Project Space closed during February
Our Project Space will be closed during February – it gets a bit chilly in our old mill at this time of year and it is not cheap to heat so it makes sense but also it gives a bit of breathing space. It is time consuming trying to run a program of events and keep regular […]
