Step inside the colourful world of Fashion Play – a bold, playful display of wooden dancers and figurative mobiles.

Fashion Play features an expressive collection of beautifully designed, handmade wooden figures celebrating movement and form, inspired by Barnes’ own recent book of the same name. These fashionable characters are joyfully dressed in extravagant headdresses, bulbous skirts, and oversized sleeves.

The exhibition includes 33 beautifully designed, handmade wooden sculptures and six mobiles with perfectly contrasting colours, spots and stripes. The one-of-a-kind artworks are all for sale, with prices ranging from £250 to £850. A selection of sustainably sourced pin badges, imaginative magnets, sticker sets and a limited edition print are also available to purchase from YSP Shops.
