Saturday 30th June: Bauhaus by day, Bauhaus by night at The Barbican

I spent last Saturday down at The Barbican Bauhaus exhibition running an accessories workshop as part of the Bauhaus By Day, Bauhaus By Night event for the evening costume party.  Here are just a few snaps, as I was busy with a glue gun instead of a camera!  Thanks to Vicky Langdon for her image of three cone-headed party goers and Black Cab Sessions for thier instagram of Kwes dj-ing.  Thanks to Kwes for playing - a perfect fit to the theme with his recent "Klee" entitled EP.
See the official photography from the day over on the Barbican facebook page here and here.
