THE BALLAD OF BIG AL: DINOSAUR EXHIBITION

The BBC's dinosaur, Big Al, comes to visit Redditch, in an exhibition of prehistoric monsters.

Put yourself in their landscape with our magic blue screen and find out what it's like to be chased by a dinosaur! Get close up to a life size model head of Big Al which was used in the close up scenes in the TV programme.

See real fossils and casts. Discover all about this extraordinary dinosaur from the late Jurassic period, his environment and the many other creatures he hunted and lived with.

Please note that there is a charge of £2 for adults and £1 for children for Redditch residents to visit this exhibition on Wednesdays (when museum entry is free).

COLLECTING STITCHES

Alice Kettle and Karina Thompson come together to exhibit work which celebrates their individual connections with Forge Mill. They have both started to incorporate digital stitch into their current work and this exhibition illustrates this development in both their practices.

Emerging textile artists and colleagues have been invited to show work alongside them since both have a commitment to supporting and promoting the work of up and coming makers and new developments in stitch.

This exhibition is kindly sponsored by Pfaff.

There are workshops and demonstrations to accompany the exhibition.
