The team enjoyed a visit to Beyond Van Gogh in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. The immersive experience really brought his artwork to life, it was fascinating learning more about his life and we left feeling rather inspired! 🌻

The Great Chamber at Norwich Castle is home to the remarkable Norwich Friends Tapestry, which a talented team of volunteers worked for over eight years to create.

At 18 metres in length, it tells the story of two rebellions against Norman rule. These took place in East Anglia soon after the Battle of Hastings.

Technically an embroidery, it’s named after the Bayeux Tapestry. It borrows the stitch and illustration style of its famous predecessor.

It has been an honour to work again with the Norwich Castle team to fine tune and digitise this incredible piece and appreciate its exquisite detail.
