KALEIDOSCOPE 🌸🌼

Something beautiful has landed in the cafe - an ethereal exhibition which combines art, nature and digital technology, created by ridiculously talented local artist 🌸

Ellie trained at Central Saint Martins and her practice explores the relationship between nature and technology through photography, scanning, digital processes and printmaking. Working with foraged and sustainably sourced flora, she creates artworks that encourage closer observation of the natural world and celebrates details that often go unnoticed. 🌼

The exhibition runs until late September and all the work is for sale (including beautiful Perspex light-catching discs that you can hang in your windows and while away a happy hour watching them gently rotate! 😵‍💫

Fancy painting your best friend? 🐾

Do you remember when I posted all those in progress and finished pictures of our incredible Bingley mural in our big workshop, created by local artist Karen Harman Karen Ellen Harman ? Well, now’s your chance to spend a whole day with Karen, learning how to paint your wonderful pet (or someone else’s wonderful pet!) and really capture their spirit. Just look at the cutie chops Karen has painted above to see how amazing she is as capturing the special qualities of our beloved ones that make them even more important than our husbands!
On the subject of pets … keep scrolling for a bonus picture of the love of my life, Albert, in the last frame 😊
If this sounds just your cup of tea (and you can bear to leave your pet at home for a day whilst you join us for this magnificent new workshop), head to the workshops link in our bio for full details and to book your place.

Just seen on the BBC news that David Hockney, arguably Bradford’s most famous son, has died at the age of 88.
He was a modern day giant and his enormous collection of evolving artwork has been enjoyed and will be treasured for many people around the world.
I’ve loved his work from a young age and did my A Level Art extended study on his work from the 1950s, when he was a student at Bradford Art College.
My Dad and I were privileged to meet his art tutor from back then (Frank Wright), who had the foresight to keep Hockney’s early College work after he discarded some of it at the end of his time at Bradford Art College. Frank recalled Hockney writing at the top of one of his studies that he would grow up to be a world-famous artist … how right he was!
In my early twenties I worked in the brand new upstairs gallery in Salts Mill which originally housed Hockney’s Very New Paintings and was an absolute visual feast! My job was to talk to people about the pieces, sell postcards and keep grubby fingers from touching the glistening surfaces of the work!
The opening of the Very New Paintings exhibition was a huge event at the time and Hockney travelled over from Los Angeles to be there in person. I got the chance to meet him on the opening night and he signed a catalogue for me, which blew my mind as a big fan!
If there is a heaven then it is about to become a very joyful and colourful place 😊🌈
