Post date 24 April 2017

The Thrive Archive workshop‘The weans just won’t sit still!’ Despite the lure of thruppence for the cinema or a new comic to read Joan’s young models found it difficult to hold a pose for long.

Sophia Ann West at Flamingosaurus Rex

Post date 8 February 2017

Sophia WestLaunching Friday 10th February, Flamingosaurus Rex is proud to host the presentation of a new body of work by Sophia Ann West.
