Join us to hear how the artist Tim Ellis, inspired by Heath Robinson’s Railway Ribaldry (1935), created his eccentric and satirical steam-age train, powered by Anxiety and Yesterday’s News, built entirely from salvaged materials, from aircraft parts to brass trinkets! A humorous insight into Tim’s handcrafted sculptures taking on class, chaos, and the spirit of “make do and mend”.
