Sadly due to increasing work commitments with her ‘day job’ Helen has decided to leave The Material Girls. She will be continuing to exhibit when she is able, we look forward to supporting her and seeing her future endeavours.
Although the Material Girls will be stewarding this exhibition every day we thought it would be extra special if we were all there on Sunday 24th September so that you can meet the ARTISTS. Our exhibition has free entry as it's in the Hayloft (above the café) and not in the main National Trust House. Hope to see you there!
Essex Life have an article in their Art Review September addition about this exhibition!and our exhibition at Loughton Art Centre.
Another chance to see this exhibition, plus there will be some work that wasn't in the exhibition at National Trust Rainham Hall.

The Journey Starts Here.........
For the Material Girls next adventure with the National Trust we are leaving behind John Harle and the 18th century and exploring the 1940s when Rainham Hall was requisitioned as a children's nursery. Our exhibition at the Hall in September will be inspired by wartime childhood so research has commenced with a trip to the V&A Museum of Childhood at Bethnal Green. 25/1/2017.
