NOVUM: A Room In Bloom
Advertisement
🌸 One room, thousands of petals and one very big question... what's real and what's paper? 🌸
Step into A Room in Bloom and wander through a larger-than-life floral wonderland where fresh, locally grown flowers and intricate paper art blur the line between nature and imagination. Starting at your feet and growing high above your head, this blooming installation is full of surprises. Look closely… can you tell the difference between a petal and a piece of paper?
But don’t just stop and stare. Join paper artist Yvette Ja inside the installation and create your own paper flower in a relaxed, hands-on workshop. As you fold, shape and craft, you’ll discover the hidden stories behind the flowers that fill our lives; from supermarket bouquets to garden blooms and the wildflowers growing through cracks in the pavement.
The lines between nature and imagination blur in this beautiful, immersive installation created by florist and flower farmer Roisin Taylor (Verde Flower Co), produced by Northern Sky Creative and paper artist Yvette Ja.
A Room in Bloom has grown from Newcastle itself.
Fresh flowers have been lovingly grown by community gardens and growing projects across the city, while hundreds of paper flowers have been created by local people in workshops leading up to #NOVUM26.
📍 High Bridge Works - Level One Gallery Space
📅 8 & 9 August
🕰 Saturday 11am-5pm & Sunday 11am-4pm
🎟️ FREE
Come and stop to smell the flowers... and maybe make one too. 🌼
