black mountain bronze

Bronze is contemporary and yet has strong echoes deep within our evolutionary past. The casting of bronze is a raw and elemental process that can be achieved around a campfire with beeswax and clay or in sophisticated foundries using high tech furnaces and technical materials. At the heart of the process is the transformative slight of hand, like fossilisation where one object becomes another under the influence of extreme heat. Organic materials or wax are replaced by bronze in the casting process, via a combination of intention, earth and fire. Finishing and colouring bronze is equally transformative, raw metal through the crude exposure to the weather, seawater or sophisticated of chemical sequences and heat comes to life with rich, lustrous and intense colours. NEW WORKS I love the physicality of sculpture both of the process and the materials. Before setting up my bronze foundry in 2015 I trained and practiced as a ceramic artist. Working wax, is a visceral process; how I feel in the act of creation and my responses to the emerging piece dictate the outcome. I suspend conscious engagement and hold the sense of where something is going for as long as possible without interpretation. I believe that a work of art can offer a mirror to the soul for both the maker and the observer. How we respond to a work tells us something about ourselves. For this reason I am encouraged to explore new areas of work and challenge the viewer to consider their response to all types of work, paying attention to what they like as much as well as what they find uncomfortable.

the school of fish

I’m Alex Ledbrooke, and I started fishing when I was just four years old. I grew up on the coast where my fascination and love of the outdoors and all things fishy developed. Over the years my fishing interests have grown and if it’s got fins I’ve probably tried to catch it. I started sea fishing on the south coast of Devon on the sea walls at Dawlish. I was soon tackling the Exeter Canal with a 3 meter fishing rod my parents bought mewhilst on holiday in France. That little rod caught literally thousands of fish! I was fortunate to receive coaching when I was getting started and it was then that things really took off. At 11 years old I joined a fishing Club near Exeter and was lucky to be coached by some really experienced and enthusiastic guys. My parents didn’t fish so any help was a bonus for all of us. From there I learned about different species of fish and rather than just casting and hoping, I was able to refine my approach so I could target specific fish from different waters.

naked clay ceramics

Inspired by the natural colours and textures of the earth, Naked Clay Ceramics is a collection of quiet, tactile, minimal style tableware and homeware in black stoneware and white porcelain. Using a combination of handbuilding and slip casting, everything is made by hand in my studio in Bedfordshire. At high temperatures the clay dances in the kiln. When they leave the kiln these pieces don’t conform to the symmetrical perfection and uniformity found in factory made items. Each is individual and unique. The pieces are fired with no glaze on the outside so that the feel of the natural, fired clay can be appreciated. I hope that tactile connection brings an opportunity to pause, breathe and savour a small moment in the hustle and bustle of life. I hand make a limited number of items 3-4 times a year, available online and at events. These small batches are crafted with care, knowing that each item will be an intentional and valued addition to someone’s home or collection.

uk theatre school performing arts academy

UKTheatreSchool provides its students with a structured, comprehensive performing arts syllabus within the finest environment of bespoke studios and lecture facilities in the heart of Glasgow City Centre. The syllabus, along with the training provided, has been commended by industry professionals and has led students to progress to many leading performing arts establishments in London, France, Germany and Italy, and the Juilliard School in New York. UKTheatreSchool is an independent performing arts academy that bridges the gap between drama clubs and further education performing arts establishments. Founder, Lizanne Thomson, noticed a clear gap in the education system to provide the proper training for young people looking to advance in performing arts. UKTheatreSchool opened as an independent drama and musical theatre school within the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD), now known as The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS). Due to increasing popularity and growth, the school expanded into its own specially designed premises and established itself as a charity to ensure performing arts could be fully inclusive. UKTheatreSchool is ideally situated at 4 West Regent Street within the most beautiful listed building in the centre of vibrant Glasgow and is a two-minute walk from Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street train stations. UKTheatreSchool students enjoy special elements exclusive to this particular academy. Students have continued success in the theatre, film, radio and TV industries due to working with qualified, experienced tutors from the performing arts industry and the network of people connected with UKTheatreSchool. Programmes are designed to introduce key elements of performance and ensure ongoing new work is created for and by the students.

new british art

The organisation first grew up as a grass roots studio group in the Grangetown area of Cardiff in 2009. It was set up to enable collaborations between artists at different stages in their career on ambitious projects that individuals might struggle to get off the ground. Moving to Carmarthenshire in 2010 the project continued with an emphasis on the setting up of studios, workshops and the Cilyrynys teaching foundry, from where NBA has established a stable base for their operations.
