SUMMARY:Haroun Hayward: Path through Trees at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is Haroun Hayward’s first solo institutional show and showcases a new body of work. \n\n\nRooted in his experience studying the Sussex landscape\, Hayward combines ideas from abstract expressionism\, 90s dance music\, rave culture\, graffiti\, and his mother’s South Asian and West African textiles. His vibrant\, hybrid approach blends rhythm and texture\, using oil stick techniques that echo embroidery. \nThis series of new works was inspired by postwar British art by artists such as Wilhelmina Barns-Graham\, Edward Burra\, Ceri Richards\, Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland in the Gallery’s collection\, and which can be seen in the major exhibition British Landscapes: A Sense of Place\, running concurrently with Path Through Trees. \nDeveloped following a joint residency with Pallant House Gallery and West Dean College\, this show offers a bold\, contemporary response to British landscape painting. \nAlongside the exhibition\, Hayward has worked with the Gallery’s Community Programme to create Gathered in the Landscape\, a large-scale collaborative artwork exploring landscape as a shared experience\, which can be seen in Room 17.

SUMMARY:British Landscapes: A Sense of Place at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This landmark exhibition explores how artists from the 18th to the 20th century have responded to the landscapes of the British Isles. Bringing together works by more than 60 artists\, the exhibition reveals landscape not simply as scenery\, but as a powerful expression of memory\, identity and emotion.  \n\n\nSpanning Romanticism\, Modernism and postwar abstraction\, the exhibition traces a rich lineage from Thomas Gainsborough and the golden age of British watercolour to the postwar works of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham\, Barbara Hepworth\, Paul Nash\, and Eric Ravilious. \nFrom quiet lanes and chalk hills to industrial sites and abstract coastlines\, painters\, printmakers and sculptors have depicted places shaped by labour\, conflict and imagination. British Landscapes: A Sense of Place invites visitors to reflect on how Britain’s landscapes have been lived in\, remembered and reimagined – and how they continue to shape our collective sense of belonging and resilience. \nThis exhibition is accompanied by a new illustrated catalogue written by Director Simon Martin\, with contributions from contemporary artist\, Haroun Hayward\, whose exhibition Haroun Hayward: Path through Trees runs alongside British Landscapes: A Sense of Place.

SUMMARY:Beginner Weaving Day with a Rigid Heddle Loom at Clothkits
DESCRIPTION:Rigid heddle looms are a fantastic entry point into the world of weaving textiles. They are simplified versions of classic large looms and allow you to weave a length of cloth. Once you have mastered the basics\, weaving with wool and the world of textile weaving is at your fingertips! \nThis day is aimed at beginners. Using pre-warped Ashford rigid heddle weaving looms\, we will learn the basic principles of weaving so that you come away knowing your warp from your weft and your pick from your sett! \nYou will weave a sample piece during the day\, which depending on your progress could be a short table runner or a scarf. Charlotte will teach you the techniques needed to start and finish off the piece of weaving which we will remove from the loom at the end of the day. You will come away with your woven piece and an instruction booklet to enable you to weave more. Charlotte will also be able to guide you on the types of loom on which you may wish to further your weaving. \nAbout your Teacher: \nCharlotte from A Nest of Gentle Makers has had a passion for textiles and making since childhood. She is a keen believer in mending and derives great satisfaction from continuing the life of a favourite jumper or cardigan. She is a free spirit (messy) darner so is thrilled with the new interest in visible mending rather than aiming for an invisible repair! \nClass Size: Maximum class size of 9. \nSkills: This course is for total beginners. \nMaterials: All materials including looms\, tools and wool will be provided\nCourse Duration: Full Day \nVenue: The workshop is held in our modern and vibrant studio at the Clothkits shop. We are located in central Chichester\, about a 10 minute walk from the train and bus station. The closest car park is The Cattle Market. \nThis workshop costs £120.
