Parliament Buildings, Greeting Card

£4.00

These beautiful cards portray local scenes and are created by County Down artist Alison Ormsby using 100% pure silk.

The images are created by stretching the silk onto wooden frames. Images are drawn freehand before being painted with specialist silk paints.

Parliament Buildings was built to house the newly formed government of Northern Ireland. It is often referred to as Stormont because of its location within the Stormont Estate in East Belfast. Designed by Arnold Thornely, it was opened by Edward, Prince of Wales in 1932.
