At @Dior's haute couture show, the talent of "les petites mains" working in the ateliers was once again put on display. Can traditional craftsmanship survive in the modern world? https://t.co/jQ9YVB3JHI
Our Art Stars made chalk drawings to express all the emotions they'd felt that day. They made stencils & overlapped drawings to show their mix of feelings. And felt better after! Inspired by immersive performance Chit Chat Chat Show on at @z_mcr tomorrow https://t.co/9jSge5sGmi

Tonight, all roads lead to this historic, gorgeous Mancunian mill. Rumour is that 10 talented artists are having a painty skirmish, where YOU decide the winner
Art Battle Manchester XI
7-11pm
Talbot Mill
Good luck to all 10 artists competing in tomorrow’s big battle. Hope the nerves aren’t too bad, you know with the fact that 500 people will be watching your every move!
Not only will Saturday's Champion Artist win the distinguished Art Battle Mcr GOLDEN BRUSH they will also win a £100 voucher for crafty stuff at @FredAldous courtesy of our kind hosts and sponsors - @CapitalCentric
That's a lot of photos in the photo booth!
The first 250 punters (aged 18+) through the door on Saturday will be given a FREE whiskey cocktail/mixer/shot courtesy of the kind people at Bulleit.
Given Talbot Mill is a former ammunition factory, it seemed appropriate to get Bulleit onboard.
So don't be late.....
