Gallery Oldham

Today we visited gallery oldham, this wasn't one of my favourite trips as I felt all the work we'd seen was not very relevant to anything we'd seen so far. We were told about old hams cotton industry and all their treasured banners which portrayed the stories of different famous things about oldham. The banners were huge with lots of bright colours and writing on them. We were also shown very pretty delicate handkerchiefs from the archives although i thought these were lovely unfortunately the had no relevance to any of my work. We were also shown dresses which were also very beautiful but again not very significant to my practice.
