In April 2017, Chris Alton received the Adam Speaks commission from the National Trust to develop and make new work responding to Robert Adam’s vision and designs at Croome Court. He ran workshops with St. Barnabas CofE First and Middle School, Writing West Midlands, Birmingham Institute of Theatre Arts and Kimichi Independent Secondary School. These workshops informed the final artwork.

Chris has created a new folly for the parklands of Croome Court. It takes the visual language of Adam and speaks it anew with playful intonation, riffing on the neo-classical architect’s style and applying it to the form of a treehouse. The work will be opened on 25th November 2017 and will remain at Croome Court until November 2018. It will be the site of an ongoing programme of workshops and events
