Hampton Court Palace

Even though I went there for the graduate exhibition, I had to visit Hampton Court Palace as I was there.  What a fabulous place to study - and they have one, two and five day courses there, something to think about in the future.



Anyway, here are some pictures from the palace - only a few, it is an ENORMOUS place.  I was very taken with the guard room and how it was decorated with weapons. Amazing.

Hi Glennis, I really emnjoyed the book, thanks for mentioning it to me. I forgot to look for any samples of her work when I was at the British Museum, it was so overwhelming to see all the things they have.

Hi Mary
I should have also said that you can see Mary Delany's works, all of them, at the British Museum. Hope that you have time to see them.Glennis
