The Botanical World of Mary Delany & Georgie Hopton at No.1 Royal Crescent

About

This spring, take in a unique collaborative project focused on the work of two female artists, Mary Delany (1700–1788) and Georgie Hopton (1967–) at No.1 Royal Crescent. 

This meeting of artistic minds across two and a half centuries will combine the display of the British Museum's touring exhibition 'The Botanical World of Mary Delany' with artworks and newly commissioned designs for wallpaper and fabric by Georgie Hopton. These two artists are connected by their shared passion for and knowledge of plants and specifically flowers, coupled with their creative skill and ability for exquisite handcrafting.
