A new display has been added to Leamington's Art Box.

A fabulous dress created by textile students at Leamington's Kingsley School in the town is currently on display in Art Box.

The pupils repurposed vintage tea towels to construct a vibrant, layered dress that celebrates colour, memory and domestic life.

Originally created as part of the Warwick Schools Foundation Home Festival, the gown was designed in response to the theme Home.

Now in year 11, pupils Georgia and Katie, who were both involved in the project visited the exhibition earlier this month to admire their work, which is being shared with the wider community.

Chair of the Friends, Alison Chantrey, said: "We're so pleased to welcome Kingsley School back to Art Box, 5 years after they provided the inaugural exhibition. Their eye-catching dress demonstrates such skill, imagination and creativity and we're honoured that they're sharing this with us."
