Introducing our new Maker Space artist – Lorna Bates

We’re delighted to introduce Lorna Bates as our new Maker Space resident artist.

Maker Space is an accessible studio situated right next to our galleries where artists, makers and designers from all backgrounds can develop their practices with a window onto the world.

Lorna is the second Maker Space artist to join us this year, following on from Georgia Nielson.

A start-up business creating bespoke wall-coverings

Lorna explains a little about her practice and plans for the space:

“Having completed several short business courses for creatives, run by Glyndwr University, I decided to embark on a small business start-up, making bespoke wall coverings. Everything from collaborations with interior designers and restoration projects, to one-off art installations on walled environments.  This idea stemmed from one-off wallpaper paintings I made a couple of years ago for my MA in Art Practice, (also completed at Glyndwr).  

“As a regular visitor to Tŷ Pawb I saw the call out for this opportunity on social media and immediately jumped at the chance. I was so excited, held my breath and was delighted to be selected as one of the makers chosen for this four-month residency in the wonderful space situated at the front entrance to the galleries and new Useful Art Space.

Music, dance, Radio 4 – and plenty of tea!

“Everyone has been so kind and helpful as I have set up this week in the Maker Space. I have concentrated on settling in and next week my focus will be on getting comfortable and making the space feel like my studio, so I’ll probably introduce some motivating music and dance around a bit or listen to Radio 4 whilst drinking lots of tea.  

‘I want to show that patterns can be inspired by any number of things”

“Over the next few months, I hope to focus on a body of work inspired by the National Trust Property of Erddig. I was lucky enough to have access, during my MA, to the wonderful and varied collection of fragments and wallpaper samples held in the collections there.  

“I want to show that patterns can be inspired by any number of things, in this case my inspiration is a place in history that I am very fond of, but ideas can come from anywhere, from your favourite view from a window to the pattern on your mother’s dress from when you were little.

This residency will give me the chance to share my love of pattern and hopefully give people ideas of how they can incorporate familiar patterns or objects or colours into motifs, for example for wallpaper patterns.

“Handmade, this does not have to be an expensive process, I use stencils, but simple strips of cardboard can be used to create a stripe, using household paint and a cheap sponge roller and tray.  All the handmade designs produced during this residency I intend to develop digitally and complete a new collection of surface pattern designs which will be available for licencing and viewable on my website: LornaBatesPattern.com, along with the three collections I have already completed this year: Back to the Drawing Board, Morrisalia and Maisie.

‘A wonderful opportunity to launch my business’

“I am hoping that this residency will provide a wonderful opportunity to launch my business and network with local interior designers and people carrying out restoration projects, where they might want to collaborate to bring about new designs based on snippets of paper, found under the layers of time worn wallpapers in the back of cupboards or under the stairs of their project property.  

“I am also available to commission by individuals who like the idea of personalised one-off designs that have a purpose ie using patterns, colours, subjects, heirlooms or keepsakes that really mean something to the commissioning client.  

“Through regular consultation I collaborate with clients to originate a design which is not only unique but also a legacy to treasure.” 

Want to find out more about Lorna’s project?

“If you are interested in finding out more, please check out my website or just pop in to see to me at The Maker Space, Tŷ Pawb, Wrexham. I will be working there most weekdays (and weekends by request), from now until the end of November. I’d be delighted to discuss any ideas you have for suitable projects and show you around the studio. If you can’t make it along to Tŷ Pawb you can contact me by email on: LornaBatesArtist@gmail.com.

We’ll be sharing more photos and news from Lorna’s project on all our social media channels over the next few months:

Tŷ Pawb wins top architecture award

Tŷ Pawb with architects Featherstone Young has received another top architecture award.

Tŷ Pawb is one of the three buildings in Wales to receive the RSAW Welsh Architecture Award 2021, part of the national Royal Society of British Architects (RIBA) Awards.

The win means Tŷ Pawb will now be eligible for the 2021 RIBA National Awards and the 2021 Stirling Prize, one of the most prestigious architectural awards in the UK.

The other two winners included a 19th century cottage known as House in North Wales and Maggie’s Cardiff, which is a cancer care centre.

ARTS, MARKETS, COMMUNITY EVENTS – GET NEWS FROM TŶ PAWB STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX.

An ‘imaginatively and courageously repurposed’ community and arts venue

The jury’s report on Tŷ Pawb states: “The previously named People’s Market has been imaginatively and courageously repurposed as a Lottery-funded community and arts venue while also retaining its former functions.”

The report goes on to say: “The strength of this project undoubtedly lies in what it seeks to achieve through reuse and repurposing of town centre building stock rather than the pursuit of an architectural statement.

“Tŷ Pawb takes a new look at the provision of facilities for the arts, seeking to make it accessible to all and inject relevance into the everyday lives of those who wouldn’t otherwise be attracted to a traditional gallery.”

Read the report in full

‘A huge team effort with social value at its heart’

Sarah Featherstone, Director at Featherstone Young Architects said: “It means a great deal to us to have won an RSAW Award for Tŷ Pawb. This has been a transformative project for Wrexham. It was the result of a huge team effort with social value at its heart.

“Flexibility and experimentation were key drivers of the design and it has been immensely gratifying to see Tŷ Pawb flourishing in its full spectrum of uses. Alongside exhibition programme and the market. unplanned informal events take place – pop-up open mic, tea dances, pizza workshops, street dance to name but a few; the reciprocal benefits of sharing resources have been important to the success of Tŷ Pawb.”

One of Wrexham’s best-loved attractions

The award is one of several architectural honours Tŷ Pawb has received since opening in 2018.

Other awards received include the National Eisteddfod Gold Medal for Architecture 2019 and Architects Journal’s Retrofit of the Year 2019 and Best Cultural Building under 5m 2019

Cllr Hugh Jones, Wrexham Council’s Lead Member for Communities, Partnerships, Public Protection and Community Safety, said: “Thanks to incredible vision, creativity and ambition of Tŷ Pawb’s design team Wrexham now boasts a multi-award winning cultural facility which is widely recognised all over the UK as one of the finest examples of how a public building can be re-imagined into something new, innovative and exciting.”

“Since opening in 2018 Tŷ Pawb has grown to become one of our most treasured and best-loved local destinations. The atmosphere has been fantastic over the summer with live music and family activities returning, new local businesses joining the markets family and visitors returning to galleries, including the brand new Useful Art Space.

“This award is richly deserved. Huge congratulations to Featherstone Young and to the staff team for their success in bringing culture and community together under one roof.”

Introducing our brand new Useful Art Space – a gallery space with a difference

On Saturday 7th August we’ll be inviting you to come and see the opening of exciting new space at Tŷ Pawb.

The Useful Art Space (Lle Celf Defnyddiol) is a gallery space with a difference. It’s not only a space for display and contemplation but also a place for engagement, play, dialogue and learning.

It is a place for generating artful ideas together in response to shared challenges, and a place to reimagine our individual and collective futures.

The unique furniture and structures within the space have been designed and made by Tim Denton, in dialogue with playwork experts Ludicology.

These have been designed to flexibly support a range of activity within the space, including weekly playwork sessions facilitated by local playworkers.

How we’ll be using the space

We have created Lle Celf Ddefnyddiol / the Useful Art Space because we believe art can be much more than something to look at or watch, we believe art can be a tool for social change. 

We already have some exciting projects lined up, including:

  • A project led by Ibukun Baldwin, who will be working with refugees and asylum seekers.
  • ‘Bom Dia Cymru’ – a development of creative project with the Portuguese Elder community.
  • Regular play-work sessions with the Play Team.
  • Working with Glyndwr University Students from the School of Creative Arts, who will be partially based in Tŷ Pawb and engaging with the useful art archive.
  • Working with National Theatre Wales, who will be running a series of spoken-word workshops for young people.

Introducing Arte Útil

As we develop this space and the projects within it, we are linking with like-minded colleagues internationally, and the Association of Arte Útil.

Arte Útil roughly translates into English as ‘useful art’ but it goes further suggesting art as a tool or device. Arte Útil draws on artistic thinking to imagine, create and implement tactics that change how we act in society.

A key feature of the space is the Arte Útil Archive, which platforms case studies of Useful Art projects from around the world. We have involved our communities in the launch of this space by featuring a number of arts projects that are useful and locally beneficial. These have been included in the Arte Útil international archive, part of which appears here in several languages and it is also available online at www.arte-util.org.

Come and participate in our opening event

As part of the launch event we’re inviting visitors of all ages to come and participate in a drop-in activity led by Creative Practitioner Noemi Santos.

We’d like you to help us answer the questions ‘Is art useful?’ and ‘What is art for?’

You’ll be invited to use stitching and drawing techniques on postcard’s that will be displayed in the space.

The activity is suitable for all ages! It’s an ideal chance to come and see the space for the first time.

Come and join us on Saturday 7th August from 12pm-2pm.

Free online talk with Alessandra Saviotti

At 6pm on Saturday 7th August, curator and educator Alessandra Saviotti will give a free online zoom presentation about the international Arte Útil archive which features in the space.

Alessandra will then take questions from the audience.

Alessandra Saviotti is a co-curator and archivist of the Arte Util Archive, and was part of the curatorial team for the Museum of Arte Util which was initiated by artist Tania Bruguera at the Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven in 2014.

Alessandra works as a curator and educator and is currently a PhD candidate at Liverpool John Moores University. Current projects include Decentralising Political Economies (www.dpe.tools) a research strand on the uses of art and economy, developed in collaboration with the Whitworth Gallery, Liverpool John Moores University and the Asociacion de Arte Util. Alessandra is a regular guest teacher at the iMAE & MKE at ArtEZ – University of the Arts (Arnhem, NL)

Why we’ve created the Useful Art Space

The space reflects our ethos of working collaboratively with local communities to address common themes through artistic means. 

The transformation of this space builds on the Useful Art approach that has underpinned Tŷ Pawb since opening in 2018 and is at the very heart of our work.

Central to Lle Celf Ddefnyddiol is the interaction between arts and markets: we want to harness the innate creativity of market trading, exploring commonalities between what is happening in the market hall and the work of artists at Tŷ Pawb. 

Cllr Hugh Jones, Wrexham Council’s Lead Member for Communities, Partnerships, Public Protection and Community Safety, : “The creation of Lle Celf Ddefnyddiol -the Useful Art Space is a significant milestone in Tŷ Pawb’s short history. We are re-imagining the way a gallery can work, encouraging more interaction with our communities and developing new projects with groups and organisations from across Wrexham and beyond.

“At the heart of this new project is the goal of using art to create positive social change.

“We are tremendously excited to see how the space will be used by the various groups who will be working with us over the next few months.

“Something very special is being created here and I would urge everyone to come and take a look when the space open for the first time on Saturday 7th August.”

‘This town has so much to offer.’ We welcome our first Maker Space artist Georgia Nielson

Over the last few months we’ve been transforming Siop//Shop into Maker Space, an accessible studio, facilitated by Arts Council Wales, where artists, makers and designers from all backgrounds can develop their practices with a window onto the world.

The transformation work is now complete and we are delighted to announce our first Maker Space artist.

Georgia Nielson is currently embarking on her final year, studying a Fine Art degree at Glyndwr University, Wrexham.

Currently, the greater part of Georgia’s practice specialises in textile-based art, with an emphasis on rug-making and applique banner-making.  Distinctive and humorous stand out pieces are produced.

ARTS, MARKETS, COMMUNITY EVENTS – GET NEWS FROM TŶ PAWB STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX.

‘I want to build a career doing what I love’

Georgia explains her Maker Space project: “This town has so much to offer and I want to flaunt it!”  

“Recently I’ve been making a lot of work about Wrexham, the town gets a pretty bad rep so I wanted to pick out some of my favourite imagery from around the town and bring back some of the nostalgia from growing up in the area.”

“I want to work closely with the Wrexham community, listening to their stories and finding and finding out what people love about the town.” 

“As I’m close to graduating this year I want to use this time to start to really set myself up for post-graduate life and hopefully begin to build a career doing what I really love”

Interactive workshops

Over the coming weeks and months (Covid regulations permitting) Georgia will lead workshops on skills such as rug tufting. It is hoped that skills learnt at these workshops will enable participants to go forward to produce their own products in the future

We’ll be following Georgia’s work on our website and social media channels as the project develops.

‘A spark I’ve not seen in weeks’ – Our arts masterclasses get top marks from local families

Almost 50 children aged 9-14 from the Wrexham area have taken part in a series of online arts masterclasses organised by Tŷ Pawb.

The 12 Criw Celf masterclasses took place over half-term following an unprecedented demand for places.

The workshops were delivered online via zoom with professional artists, Wendy Connelly, Honor Pedican, Melissa Rodrigues and Menai Rowlands.

Art packs containing all the materials needed to take part were distributed to all the participants ahead of the workshops.

Artistic techniques explored included printmaking, stencils & papercraft, 3D character design, textiles, watercolours, 3D den making and oil portraits.

ARTS, MARKETS, COMMUNITY EVENTS – GET NEWS FROM TŶ PAWB STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX.

A national scheme to nurture young talent

Criw Celf is an art project devised by Gwynedd Council in 2007 and has since expanded across north Wales and into other parts of Wales.

It is part of a national scheme to nurture young talent in the visual Arts and is funded by the Arts Council of Wales.

The aim of the project is to give young people who have shown talent and a special interest in art a chance to develop their skills and experiences.

For the past two years the Criw Celf workshops have been held at Tŷ Pawb’s learning studios.

Despite the classes moving online this year it’s safe to say they proved to be just as popular as ever with a huge demand for places, 44 children taking part in total and some glowing reviews from children and parents.

‘I just love the inspiration it has given her’

Here are just some of the wonderful comments we received:

“As a parent may I just say how refreshing it was to see my child using other skills, aside from the continual, motionless, screen staring that is the everyday at the moment.  He was more motivated and engaged than I have seen him for a long time, and the creativity involved obviously stimulated him mentally.  He was tired at the end of each day, but eager to start again the next.”

“Thank you to Wendy who was so enthusiastic with the children and an inspiration to them and us adults. Can’t wait to learn more new skills in the coming days”

“I just love the inspiration it has given her. A spark I’ve not seen in a few weeks.”

“I wanted to thank everyone involved for some amazing creative workshops during such a difficult time. It definitely helped us enjoy half term.”

“Thanks so much for organising such a fantastic event. He really enjoyed taking part and he’s continued to use his art pack and practice the skills he learnt last week.”

“Thank you for such an enjoyable experience. The quality of the resources provided and the actual workshops themselves were amazing and my daughter loved every minute. Such an enjoyable experience at a very difficult time.”

“She has always loved art but you have introduced her to a whole new range of ideas that she had never even considered and now wants to try again.”

“I enjoyed… Being able to see different types of art techniques, seeing other people on zoom and seeing what jobs/ future I could have with different artists.”

“I enjoyed how well the artist explained it. I liked all of the days but my favourite was making the glove monster. I really liked the sewing and using my imagination to create the monster.”

“I really enjoyed the 3d paper model and learning how to use oils paints. I have never tried these techniques before and will start to do so now – I have ordered some oil paints to start.”

“Learning new techniques and making things using different ideas, it was also good to have the whole day doing art.”

‘Huge credit must go to the artists and the staff team’

Lead Member for People – Communities, Partnerships Public Protection and Community Safety, Cllr Hugh Jones said: “The Criw Celf half-term workshops have become one of the highlights of Tŷ Pawb’s annual arts programme for young people with a huge demand for spaces each year and a proven track record for helping to nurture creative talents and open doors to other opportunities.

“Huge credit must go to the artists and staff team for organising such a successful series of workshops amidst the challenges of the pandemic.

“It’s clear from the feedback received that this year’s online workshops have been a huge hit with children and parents and I hope this will inspire the participants to continue exploring their potential and get involved with other arts activities at Tŷ Pawb.”
