It’s #throwbackthursday and today we are going back to Summer 2018 and Wilhelmina Barnes-Graham’s Sea, Rock, Earth and Ice exhibition. @barnsgraham

The exhibition was supported by the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust and explored Wilhelmina Barns-Graham’s faithful depiction of landscape and inherent understanding of nature through four decades of her work.

Even as a child, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (1912-2004) had determined to become an artist. In defiance of her father’s wishes, she enrolled at Edinburgh College of Art in 1931, graduating six years later (following bouts of illness) and then moved to Cornwall.

Did you know that Hastings Contemporary was designed as a beautiful contemporary civic building in keeping with its historic surroundings?

Clad in 8,000 hand-glazed black ceramic tiles which refract and reflect the changing seaside light, the gallery’s form is simple but carefully calibrated. It is broadly structured with a relatively inward-looking ground floor around a small internal courtyard, and a more outward facing first floor recalling the ‘piano nobile’ arrangement of a palazzo or villa.

The use of black glazed mathematical tiles on Lavender House, next to East Cliff House, was one of the leads behind the development of the glazed cladding for the Gallery.

Robus Ceramics, the Kent- based workshop that produced the replacement mathematical tiles ...

This week’s #CommunityShoutout goes to Janey and The Craftimation Factory @janeymoffatt

Janey and textile artist Jimena Pardo @pardo8915 are currently involved in Stitch For Change: The Pandemic Patchwork Stories project.

Stitch For Change is a textiles and embroidery project hosted by @rossanaleal1, the founder of The Refugee Buddy Project, Hastings, in response to the current public health crisis. It aims to promote the meditative benefits of hand stitching and to provide a method of connection during a time of isolation and separation.

The project creates an online space for people to come together and find a collective voice; this is made possible through weekly Zoom sessions on Friday afternoons and regular sharing via the dedicated Facebook group.
