Our participants are cutting some wonderfully detailed designs ready to print in our Lino Reduction Printmaking workshop with Jenny Mason-Gunning today.

Once they begin to print, they will be exploring multi-layered colour techniques ready to take their newly learned skills back to their studios.

There is still just over a week to see our final heritage exhibition of the year; Largely Unseen: Works From The RBSA Permanent Collection.

Two of the most stunning works in the show are by Norma Rhys-Davis RBSA who became an RBSA Associate in 1983 and full Member in 1989. Both paintings, Seascape, from 2003, and 3 Cliffs – Gower III, dated 1988, appear together, and have been delighting visitors with their dynamism and vivid colours.

In the Gallery are copies of the latest edition of Artefacts magazine which features an article exploring a selection of the works on display. Please have a read and take a copy to enjoy at home.

Our Cut and Fold: Exploring Paper Workshop with Clare Pentlow always transforms the Gallery into an inspiring and colourful space of exploration and experimentation.

Participants are guided through a variety of different cutting, layering, and modelling techniques, resulting in some beautiful creations. The progress made by each attendee is wonderful to see!

Today's workshop, Urban Sketching in the Jewellery Quarter with Ed Isaacs, has seen our group out and about on the local streets drawing the glorious buildings of the JQ.

With Ed's guidance, participants have been exploring the different aspects of the local architecture, whilst working hard to master the art of perspective. They even managed to dodge the showers!

Our baby pigeons, now named Roy and Al, are doing well! Mum and Dad allowed us a sneak peek earlier, they are very much the proud parents! All members of this little family have now earned the letters FFRBSA (feathered friends) after their names, not sure they’re going to appreciate their certificates though…

Our wonderful exhibition from Seven Winds CIC, Pathfinders: Sunday Best comes to a close tomorrow at 5.00pm.

The response to this show has blown us away and we have loved seeing the interactions between visitors and the connections that have been made between those with a shared heritage of the Windrush Movement.

This exhibition really is a must-see, so come down before the end of the day tomorrow to have a look.
