We certainly 'Got Creative' at Lace Market Gallery and completed a massive 200 labels for the background of my next portrait. The Wollaton branch of the W.I. stitched 100 labels to celebrate the 100 year birthday of the National Federation of Women's Institute. A huge thank you to them and to all the other visitors and many NCN students that participated.
Thank you also to BBCGetCreative for their wonderful call out 'Label of Love'. Along with the Lace Market Gallery, Nottingham Post, Newark Advertiser, The Campaign for Wool, Nottingham Trent University and The Centre for Hidden Histories for publicising the event and the exhibition '30,000 Used Labels' which continues until 13th May monday to friday 10 - 4:00pm.
