Our first trip! Sheffield!

Our first trip was to Sheffield, which turned out to be a very nice city with beautiful architecture. I didn't expect the lovely old buildings which I love, combined with some inspiring, modern buildings such as the Winter Gardens.

The Winter Gardens was a shock as I have never seen something quite like it, something similar to a green house, but interestingly combined with an art gallery. There were some fascinating sculptures using cutlery which seemed to be sourced from hospitals. They were bent and soldered into position and some formed animals including a giraffe. 

The trip was mainly to Graves Gallery which was holding an exhibition on Andy Warhol, mainly to do with the portraits he painted. Although not my favourite work of his (my favourite obviously being the Campbell's soup and Brillo pads), the portraits were intriguing.
