Track the Code – where science and art come together for this special exhibition at Valentines Mansion. An exceptional collection of work by a group of talented young artists aged between 8 and 16 years, who through their art express one of the most common patterns known as Nature’s Sacred Code.

Browse incredible paintings, intricate basketry, carefully crafted ceramics, dazzling glass art and much more. Meet the makers themselves and watch how their work is made.
