An exhibition 'Paperworks' at the Civic Centre in Barnsley is on until Friday 26th August and features many renowned artists from the UK and abroad. Not only is the work in paper, cut and folded into many different pieces it is also pulped and manufactured into vessels and sculpture. The gallery is in the town centre and admission is free. The staff were only too pleased to talk about the individual artists and their background. I really enjoyed how each artist using the same material could produce such diverse work from beautiful jewellery to large hand cut hangings. It is well worth a visit. There is also another gallery just around the corner: The Cooper Gallery. Barnsley seems to have made a major effort on improving the town and its regeneration really impressed me.
