Flock to Manningham Mills

Manningham Project were recently asked to decorate a sheep to enter into a local art project. We were given a cardboard cutout which we had to decorate. Our trainees were up to the task and the sheep was delivered on time for the opening of the display of 60 other entries from around the Manningham area. The display was held in the Manningham Mills from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th February.
