Glam! The Performance of Style – Tate Liverpool
If you’re in Liverpool today, make sure you catch the last day of Glam! The Performance of Style at Tate Liverpool. This is the first exhibition to explore in depth the visually extravagant pop style that exploded across Britain between 1971-75. The exciting, futuristic sounds, outrageous fashions and glitter-dappled personas emerging in this era had their roots firmly in British art schools. Through the prism of glam, this enthralling showcase focuses on painting, sculpture, installation art, film, photography and performance.
Living Crafts
Hatfield House in Hertfordshire is the spectacular backdrop for Living Crafts, the largest show of its kind in Europe. With hundreds of designer-makers from across the British Isles selling a huge range of crafts from jewellery, ceramics, textiles, glass and leather, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Plus there are brilliant, hands-on workshops for all ages and lots more.
Making wild garlic pesto
Head to the woods to gather wild garlic leaves and take your foraged booty home to make wild garlic pesto. Make sure you pick wild garlic rather than lily of the valley, which looks quite similar but is toxic. If in doubt, gently rub the leaves and they should give off a familiar garlic scent. To make your pesto, just follow the tasty recipe on the Great British Chefs website from blogger, Food Urchin.
Happy Sunday
