“We thought the Botany and Other Stories event last weekend was wonderful.

It was beautifully curated and presented and, as usual, had fascinating histories and facts relating to the whole topic of paper and the written word. We came away both educated and entertained! 

We really enjoyed it.”

“I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience your exhibition provided, so much information and so beautifully curated. So an enormous thank you from me!”

“I was absolutely delighted by your Cabinet of Curiosities ‘Pulp Fiction’ exhibition in Hay-on-Wye yesterday. It was so many things: beautiful, inspiring and thought-provoking.

There was so much that I learnt about the history of how paper is made and also about the environmental issues raised by our modern over-use of paper. It is a product that we take so much for granted, but this exhibition made me really see it from a new perspective. It can be such a beautiful material and the exhibition showed how it can be used in so many wonderful ways.

Thank you so much for enriching our lives in Hay with your work and inspiration!”

“We were struck by the research, the artistry and the attention to detail that resulted in such an engaging and informative collection. Immediately afterwards we felt we needed to see it all again!”

“Everything I saw made my heart beat faster, as I walked around to enjoy such exquisite little pieces of art.”

“The reconnection with nature you are creating is much needed.”

“The haunting aesthetic of the Cabinet of Curiosities has quite transformed my day!”

“A real balance of beauty and environmental education. Congratulations on a wonderful collation.”

“We so enjoyed our visit to the Cabinet of Curiosities. We were struck by the research, the artistry and the attention to detail that resulted in such an engaging and informative collection. Immediately afterwards we felt we needed to see it all again!”

“I have no words for how breathtaking and inspiring it was to see the botanical watercolours alongside so many fascinating examples of artwork and collectables displayed in such a considered and thoughtful way. More importantly even was reading your messages displayed throughout the exhibition space highlighting the world’s climate emergency.”

“Henallt House incorporates many extraordinary rooms that delight, excite and educate in equal measure. As you wander around the exhibition you are greeted by exquisite collections of fascinating curios that blend artistry with facts. Consequently the viewer is both engaged and challenged to question their perceptions of the world. It really is a feast for the eyes and soul!”

“What an intoxicating fusion of science and art and nature and literature and protest – a kaleidoscope of wonderfully curated glories.”

“Provocative. Enlightening. Challenging. Beautiful. Terrifying. These are powerful words, and you managed to deliver all of this in a quiet, almost understated fashion.”
