SHEFFIELD EXHIBITION
In the Making: Ruskin, Creativity and Craftsmanship
Millennium Gallery
Arundel Gate
January 23-June 5

Art patron, draughtsman, watercolourist, social thinker and philanthropist, John Ruskin was a leading radical figure in the Victorian art world. He believed that the act of making represents the perfect convergence of human spirit, skill and material and that the creative effort shapes an artist or artisan just as indelibly as they in turn shape the stone they sculpt or the fabric they weave. This free exhibition explores those ideas through a broad range of historical and contemporary art and craft, bringing together work by artists including Grayson Perry, Susan Collis, Edward Coley Burne-Jones and Ruskin himself.

LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY
Otherworlds: Visions of our Solar System
Natural History Museum
Cromwell Road, SW7
Until May 15
The 77 composite images on display in this exhibition, created by artist and writer Michael Benson, are a unique amalgam of art and science. Featuring original music by Brian Eno, Otherworlds explores the beauty of our solar system and demonstrates how the visual legacy of six decades of space exploration constitutes a visually stunning and important chapter in the history of photography. Could be mind-blowing.
