Gallery Visit - Shipley Art Gallery

I visited the Shipley Art Gallery and saw the "Blooming Marvellous" exhibition of the knitted garden. The exhibition was a whole room of knitted items of what you'd find in a garden during summer or spring. there was a lot of knitted flowers and also some animals and bugs such as bees etc. I spent an hour looking in depth at the different knittings. This inspired me to maybe look at some knitting artists during my extended project who have been inspired by flora and fauna. I could make these pieces into an accessory or something with a purpose as I would prefer that to a piece of art which does not have a function to it.
