Slow crafts exhibition

For those of you still yearning for a "Long Now" experience you should point your feet, trains and cars in the direction of Birmingham and check out an exhibition.

The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is hosting an exhibition of Craft and the Slow Revolution from the 17th October 2009- 4th January 2010.

The exhibition looks at how contemporary craftspeople respond to ideas about slowing down how we work and what we produce, and the importance of contributing to a more sustainable society.

Included in this exhibition is a giant wool hanging that will be partly created by visitors, and a family activity guide to find out more about the exhibits. The exhibition also includes film and photography.

It's held in the Waterhall and admission is free (my favourite word).
