A fabulous dress created by textile students at The Kingsley School is currently on display in Art Box. Students repurposed vintage tea towels to construct a vibrant, layered dress that celebrates colour, memory and domestic life. Originally created as part of Warwick Schools Foundation Home Festival, the gown was designed in response to the theme Home.
Now in year 11, students Georgia and Katie, who were both involved in the project visited the exhibition earlier this month to admire their work, which is being shared with the wider community.
Chair of the Friends of Christchurch Gardens (where the box is located), Alison Chantrey, said “We’re so pleased to welcome The Kingsley School back to Art Box, 5 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.”
You can find ArtBox on Clarendon Avenue at the edge of Christchurch Gardens, known to many as Top Park. The exhibition is open 24/7, 365 and will run until mid March.
