Currently on show in artsdepot‘s Apthorp Gallery is an incredible exhibition, Blooming Marvellous. Created in 2011 by over 2,500 individuals (the youngest was 2 and the oldest 99), mainly in Dorset, the exhibition is a life-sized garden in which everything has been knitted.
I can’t knit myself – my nana tried to teach me when I was a child, but it went horribly wrong and I haven’t tried it since – but I can certainly appreciate the talent, effort and imagination that went into this amazing project. I highly recommend you pay it a visit, whether you are a knitter yourself or not – there are so many different things to see!
artsdepot is an arts centre in North Finchley that hosts theatre, dance, exhibitions, classes and other events. The Apthorp Gallery hosts changing exhibitions and the Theatre and Studio are home to a variety of shows for all ages. This thriving arts hub is certainly worth a visit – there’s something for everyone.
