The Custard Factory is a buzzing quarter in Birmingham which is home to a hive of young creative companies, galleries, and fine artists. A new five-story creation called the Zellig Sculpture, which contains three glass bridges and 2000 meters of steel tubing, has been created inside the factory by Nottingham based design firm Philip Watts.
