Eyre hair on display

Elaine’s Smith’s Brontë inspired work has just been on show at Dewsbury Museum, in Crow Nest Park, as part of a display by second year fine art for design students at Batley School of Art and Design.

And now the student’s designs, including a Brontë-style dress made from pages of the famous sisters’ books and a Victorian wig are being taken to Dewsbury Minister for another spell on show.

From the Minster they will be taken to Red House Museum, well-known for its connections with Charlotte Brontë.

Mrs Smith, a mother of four, said she was hopeful the two extra shows of her work would lead towards it being exhibited at the Brontë Parsonage Museum.
