End of an Exhibition

I have written little on this blog about my work at Hat Works as Guest Curator, due to a variety of reasons. This began when on my MA helping out answering research questions and being an extra pair of hands, then led to a project for my final course work to curate an exhibition on Trimmings for millinery. It was a fantastic experience so as it all comes to be taken down before the next one is put up it was a good time to reflect on what I had managed, with that fear that i wouldn't be able to do as good a job next time.
