Harris Museum and Art Gallery

I visited the Harris Museum and Art gallery the other day as I had nothing else to do all day and it was a nice experience. I saw all kinds of art work ranging from glass ceramics to detailed sculptures. I took a lot of photos as you can see below. I regret not bringing my sketchbook as this was a great opportunity to have drawn great pieces of art from still life.

I really like these glass vials below. They reminded me of potions and elixirs that relate to witches and sorcery. There were so many of them and each one looked delicately well made and there was a pretty assortment of colours and patterns on them.







I also liked the designs of these ceramics. The style reminds me of Chinese/Japanese painting styles. They seem to give off a peaceful yet relaxing mood as I admire them.





This sculpture caught my eye because of the musical instrument that the girl is playing. My new brief will be about musical instruments so I took a couple of photos.
