Food and Art Through the Ages: From Renaissance Sculpture to 3D printing

A whistle stop tour of the history of food as an artistic medium starting with 16^th century sugar sculpture up to the present-day 3D printing. Delight in the way that desserts are a crossover between sugar, architecture and art.  A treat for those with a sweet tooth and a ‘tasty’ way to end our 23/24 season of art exploration.
