We thought it might be nice to share some of the lovely responses we have had to the exhibition in its first week, which has been a fantastic success in terms of numbers of visitors and how much everyone has enjoyed the show - people are already coming back for second visits and
the comprehensive catalogue of the archive seems to be on everyone's Christmas lists.
“What a gorgeous exhibition! Inspiring and beautifully displayed – I’m off to buy the lino and cutting tools…”
“Thoroughly enjoyed both this and the Abram Games [exhibition].”
“Excellent! Loved the cats!”
“What a fantastic exhibition. Worth travelling here [from Manchester] especially to see. A remarkable archive & it would be good to see more in years to come. Thanks to Bawden himself for such a generous gift!”
“Superb exhibition, well worth seeing. I’ve always been a fan of his work, and this does it full justice. Thank you.”
“Bawden – Amazing! Such nice type, really crisp, great colours, just incredible. All of the staff are very friendly as well, enjoyed my Bedford Gallery experience.”
“Bawden is so, so good. Such a good designer, amazing commercial stuff. Best exhibition I’ve seen in a very long time.”
“Wonderful collection – will return.”
“A very fine exhibition beautifully curated in very pleasant surroundings.”
