Wild n woolly - it’s only right and proper, given @sunnybankmills.bsky.social history (like many local mills) with the wool and cloth production, that my print of a very bedraggled sheep takes center stage on my stall this coming Saturday (1st March ) #printmaking #linocut #custard4gray #printfair

Headed to the Mercer Gallery in #Harrogate today. Found the wonderful #Leeds artist Christopher P Wood's Red Riding and The Brothers Grimm exhibition. Macabre tales beautifully interpreted in prints, paintings and #collages. Until 4th April.

Powerful piece here on the state of the arts sector. At the Mills, we're bucking this trend but are fortunate to have been able to do so. This is what we have been working towards for the last decade: "Flourishing arts organisations in communities create economic benefit & a local sense of pride."
