The child in me particularly liked the knitted creatures by Donna Wilson.The exhibition as a whole was full of inspiration for me as both an artist and knitter and i'm determind to use knitting somehow in my printmaking projects though i'm not too sure exactly how. The gallery itself was nice too and had loverly food in its resturant. It was a great day out for poor students with the free admission and reasonable food prices :) I somehow managed to subject some of my housemates to the two hour long journey from Cardiff to Newtown for the sole purpose of seeing this exhibition and it was worth it.

I remember Donna Wilson's rug, and some beautiful little sweaters for birds, among many others. definitely worth seeing. like lynn i too saw the exhibition at the Crafts Council last year and thought it was just wonderful.

We all had a hard time trying not to touch all the pieces. There was a rug by Donna Wilson that I just wanted to roll around in. The variety of colours, tectures and techniques was unexpected and inspiring. Definately try and catch it if you can!
