Dear TD Community!

Hope you all had lovely Easter weekends. I still wanted to send a Menu out this week even though we had a bank holiday Monday because as you can see- there's a lot on! We're thrilled to share all of the exciting events this week. 

But first let's start with something different! 

New Blog Post! This is really special, Emeline tells to story of the remarkable life of Melanie Heneke and the process of creating The Fabric Left To Us Installation. 

By Emeline Beroud, one half of the duo who created 'The Fabric Left to Us', the current exhibition in our Next Door window. 

Valentine and Emeline explore the legacy of textile artist Melanie Heneke. Mel left her art materials to her children when she died 11 years ago and last year, her daughter Ruth entrusted Emeline these materials. Emeline delves into Mel's rich life, artistic practice and the process of creating the piece.
