The second Lymington Arts Festival held in June 2010. Trudi was invited by St Barbe Gallery & Museum to exhibit her sculptures in the glorious gardens of Moore Blatch. The garden rooms and extensive lawns and borders provided the perfect foil for 'Fragment' Trudi's sculptures.
'A Place to Grow' a public art project in the centre of Camden, London at Hawley Infant School. Trudi was selected to work with the school and create a bespoke piece of art for their school situated in the heart of Camden, adjacent to Camden Market and Camden Lock. During the 2010 summer term Trudi worked with all the pupils, from 3-7yrs delivering art workshops creating a body of work that transformed into a willow, paper mache and tile geodesic dome. The space provides a place for a group of children to contemplate, relax, read stories and share thoughts
The Square Gallery in St Mawes, Cornwall is located in this fabulous Cornish harbour on the Roseland Peninsular features Trudi's sculptures on the theme of Edwardian bathing.
