Temporary Exhibition: Staff Pick 🐚

Senior Visitor Assistant Sam struggled to choose just one favourite in the temporary exhibition "Our Precious Planet" by Ribble Creative Stitchers. Here's her reason for choosing this set of three pieces "Seashells & Ammonites", hand embroided by Jill Cooper:
"I grew up by the coast in Italy. At each visit to the beach, I would be fascinated by the sealife and what you can find by walking on the shores. These three beautifully made pieces remind me of those times and the passion and curiosity for the sea."

Don't miss the opportunity to see the exhibition, which is on until 13th September Wednesday to Sunday 12 - 4 pm.

This coming Sunday, 6th September, join some of the artists for a "meet the artist drop-in and slow stitching session", free of charge, running from 1pm-3pm.

My Working Day: Visitor Assistant

Visitor Assistant Paddy tells us about his role in our team and particularly his passion to promote art through our activities and our collection.
"As part of my duties within the team, I have the opportunity to promote our Family Art Club to all the young artists that visit our museum with their families. I enjoy contributing in designing the sessions' themes. For Family Art Club we supply a space to be creative for the whole family and all the materials, part of my duties is to set up and help during the sessions.
A perk of my job is to create the opportunities for young artists.

The Family Art club is held ever second Sunday throughout the year from 1-3pm, I look forward to seeing you there."

Science and Heritage – How to Heat Your House!

When William and Anne Haworth had their house built they wanted the modern luxuries. One of these luxuries was to have central heating. This was a complex ventilation system to ensure that the warm air circulated through the house.

When walking around the top floor of the gallery you will see beautiful metal grates on the floor complete with William's initials. These form part of the ventilation network allowing the warm air to travel through the house.

William and Anne also had fireplaces put in all the rooms so that the traditional way of heating was also possible. I wonder which they found the most effective?

Haworth Art Gallery and Museum – Work Experience

Today, we are delighted to share some of the comments from a brilliant, Year 12 work experience student, about the week they recently spent with us.

They loved the varied nature of being a Visitor Assistant and being able to help in many and various ways from weddings to the shop, and from checking the building to helping prepare for Dementia Friendly Crafts.
Their favourite part of the whole experience was meeting new people, and finding out about the teams varied backgrounds and routes to working here.

Thank you for all your help!
