A DRESS currently on display at the Art Box in Leamington has a familiar ring about it.
Designed by textile students from Kingsley School, the gown has been created out of repurposed vintage tea towels to celebrate colour, memory and domestic life.
Originally created as part of the Warwick Schools Foundation Home Festival, the layered dress was designed in response to the theme Home and is now on display at the town’s smallest art gallery, which was once a red telephone box.
Now in year 11, pupils Georgia and Katie, who were both involved in the project visited the exhibition to admire their work, which will be on display until the end of March.
Chair of the Friends of Christchurch Gardens Alison Chantrey, said: “We’re so pleased to welcome Kingsley School back to Art Box, five years after they provided the inaugural exhibition. Their eye-catching dress demonstrates such skill, imagination and creativity and we’re honoured that they’re sharing this with us.”
Art Box, on Clarendon Avenue at the edge of Christchurch Gardens, is owned by Leamington Town Council and managed by Friends of Christchurch Gardens. It is available, free of charge, for community or school exhibitions.
