The Palm House Sefton

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562847557092258610" />

Textile 21 visited Sefton Palm House in 2010 in order to do some observational drawing and photography. It was so inspirational that it is going to be a starting point for the new work in 2011 and there will be an exhibition later in the year showing where you can see how each member has interpreted this theme in a different way
