If You Had Wings...
A second large collaborative canvas, exploring the question:

"If you had wings, what would they look like?"

What would your wings be? Huge or tiny? Feathered, colourful, strange, delicate, mechanical, imaginary... or something that has never existed before?

Using mixed media, you can create and add your own interpretation of wings to the shared artwork. There is no need to be able to draw — this is about imagination, exploration and seeing where the materials take you.

Come and add your wings to the picture, and see what happens when everyone's ideas take flight.

Open to all ages and abilities.

Come and explore the theme of Flight through collaborative, experimental and playful mark-making.

Sat 3rd Oct - A Murmuration of Marks
An evolving collaborative artwork exploring flight through abstract black-and-white mark-making.

Join us throughout the day to create one large, shared collaborative artwork.

Working together on a large canvas, we will explore flight through abstract mark-making, using only black and white. There is no finished image or right way to do it. Instead, each person will respond to the marks already made and their sense of flight and what that means or how that feels to them, adding their own lines, shapes, movement and energy.

Watch the artwork change as different people contribute to it throughout the day, creating something that is from the collective mind.

Open to all ages and abilities. Come and make a mark, stay for a while, or simply join in when you feel inspired.

Can't wait for this..
4 fascinaiting artists celebrating line!
Using line in different ways to express feelings, movement, responses, expression.
has worked in Shallal since childhood and been involved in every Back Lane West residency.
She knows and loves Julia's work, this is Julia's first shared exhibition, her work always receives a warm response from other artists with it's strong minimal line.
Daniel is a regular artist with Julia in our Thursday studio group.
He works with continuous determination and Jodie who also comes to the group has helped select his work and curate this exhibition.
Last not least is another Anna who we met on Zoom from Durham where she then lived and spent time with Esther, they have a strong shared creative relationship, creating cards and working together.
In the sessions she produced her own simple powerful drawings and her work is represented in a short film as she is currently with her family in Rome ( we love the international connections Zoom allows us) and we couldn't get her work here in time.

We hope you can come and enjoy their work in this one off event Friday 5-7.30pm
