We just managed to beat the rain yesterday at Art Pad! A block printing session with our artist Eliza Bennett produced lovely tote bags and pencil-purses! Great job everybody! @TNLComFund @BVSC

Such a great set of mono-collage prints created by our participants at Art at the Folly! We used wallpaper books, doilies and fabric to create raised abstract surfaces. Block printing inks were then applied to create unique works. We 💕them! @migranthelp @BVSC @BhamCityCouncil

We had a lovely afternoon in the sunshine with our Form of Clouds participants yesterday. We did needle felting with Eliza Bennett. One of our participants finished the make off at home with brilliant stitching and button! @BVSC @BhamCityCouncil

A busy day Tie-dyeing at the Folly yesterday for Form of Clouds! We saw wonderful impressions and patterns emerging through different colour schemes. Thanks to @BhamCityCouncil @BVSC for ongoing support through the Prevention and Communities program for disadvantaged citizens.

#researchbettertogether is an invaluable opportunity to create a working relationship with @rachmarsden to better understand the impact of our work & the arts more broadly on health and social care. We can't wait to get started!! p2/2 @BVSC @unibirmingham @NIHRresearch

After nearly three months of ‘rain stopping play’ at Perrott’s Folly, we are half way through the canopy project and small capital works at Perrott’s Folly via @TheUKSPF. @Planestructure , Wilkinson’s Environmental and Chris Shepheard Builders on the case! @BVSC @BhamCityCouncil

We had another wonderful adventure to @ComptonVerney this week with the Form of Clouds. We loved the atomisers in the Naples Collection - they really brought the volcanic paintings to life. The Towering Dreams exhibition was a FOC fan-favourite! @BhamCityCouncil @BVSC

The little glimpse of warm weather lifted our spirits at last week's Form of Clouds session as we invited artist @PaulaLigo to deliver a painting session for us. We got comfortable with acrylics and then did some simple still-life's in the sunshine! @BhamCityCouncil @BVSC

We delved into the world of oil pastels at this week's Form of Clouds. We rarely use more traditional mediums for our sessions, so it was fun to immerse ourselves in colour and texture. @BhamCityCouncil @BVSC

We dived into the world of paper quilling at A.C.E. with @elizabennett_art. Such diverse art pieces created, lots of fun, easy to get lost in the swirls! @BhamCityCouncil

John kindly gave us a tour of the current weather station onsite and showed us original hand-drawn graphs & charts from the archives. To connect the Folly's history from 19th.C. to present climate concerns through John's research is brilliant!P2/2 @metofficeWMids @HistoricEngland

We have had a super busy month! We popped across to see John Kings @unibirmingham Meteorology team, who is currently researching in the meteorology archives. Perrott's Folly was one of the world's first weather measuring stations with the Uni operating there until 1979. P1/2

Our thanks to @WMFSLadywood who came out at the weekend to tend a 60ft Leyland Tree that wanted a 'tower to lean on' in Storm Darragh. They were really great!
