The Museum is looking to collect a small number of items reflecting the creative spirit which has become such a feature of the lockdown periods and the Covid 19 ‘stay at home’ directive.If you helped the NHS or care homes by making scrubs and scrub bags or other essential items do you have any spare examples we could have? Have you created a particularly unusual face mask? Have you been inspired to make wonderful paintings, sculptures, jewellery, textiles or other creations which have come about due to the unexpected period of being at home? If so, we would like to see pictures of your handiwork.The museum’s collections team will select items to add to the Museum’s permanent collections to mark the creativeness of the Covid 19 crisis and to reflect some of the unusual and unexpected benefits of this period of worry and uncertainty. Please send an image of your creation to Catherine.Willson@herefordshire.gov.uk with a little bit about yourself and your object, for example the inspiration for the item, where and when it was made, and anything else of interest.Looking forward to seeing your creations! ...
