Two of our lovely artists @artistswypw are collaborating on a project for #heARTyourtown . Creating an amazing window installation for our Unit 2 gallery space in #huddersfield ! Reposted from @helainasharpley Buzzzzzzzzzzzz..... I was just going to make a wire skeleton and then cover it in tissue paper, but I think the wirework needs to be seen! Might add some more details though in copper wire. He's going to fly his way to the @wypw shop window @piazzacentre later this week, to accompany @clare_grace_designs printed meadow back drop.
