Who's in the gallery this month? 🎨

This month we're featuring the work of Mags Elliott.

After a career in landscape architecture, Mags returned to her first love of art and now works as an artist full-time. Her vibrant pastel work is full of colour and energy, alongside paintings and detailed illustrations.

If you're popping into the shop, make sure you take a few minutes to have a look around the gallery. It's always nice to discover a local artist and hear the story behind their work ☺️

📍 On display now in our Ilkley gallery.

The Ilkley Open is nearly here, which means our window’s had a tennis-themed makeover 🎾

We’ve already spotted a few dogs on their way back from the park slowing down to eye up the tennis balls in the display…
We can neither confirm nor deny that one nearly walked into the glass while staring 👀🐶

If you’re heading through town during the Open, keep an eye out for our window display!

Can we just show some appreciation to our trusty table easels…
They really do go through a lot 😅🎨

Paint splashes, wonky sketches, late-night ideas, cups of tea balanced dangerously close… and somehow they just keep going.

One of the most underrated bits of studio kit if you ask us 👀
