ANNOUNCEMENT! We are really excited to announce the new artists in residence for the Arts Hub: Jasmine Smail and Ali Brown. Scroll down to learn more about them and their practice!

Jasmine Smail @artist.jasminesmail
Jasmine is a multidisciplinary artist working mostly in sculpture and drawing. Her practice explores childhood, nostalgia, storytelling and play through objects and the memories they hold. She loves the tactile nature of sculpture, particularly papier mache. Jasmine finds joy in holding and making with your hands, using materials that have a nature you often can’t fully control resulting in wobbly, larger than life objects. She represents the playthings of her imagination and past connecting us in a collective remembering or reimagining. Participation, community and connection are integral parts of Jasmine's practice and is part of the artist collective Comfy Club as well as co-founding the artist community space Container 22. She has also led workshops encouraging play, storytelling and joy for all ages across the Southwest including the galleries, Spike Island, Hauser and Wirth and Arnolfini.

Ali Brown @iamalibrown
Ali is an artist & Creative Mentor. She creates colourful Found Wisdom Collages on paper and inked wood, inspired by seasons, cycles and Human Design. Her work celebrates the quiet but powerful everyday things we often overlook, offering gentle reminders to reconnect with your creativity, your rhythm and your self-trust.Alongside her art practice, Ali works as a Creative Mentor, weaving together coaching tools and creative processes to help people reconnect with their innate creativity. Through workshops, community projects and creative wellbeing sessions, she creates welcoming spaces where people can slow down, explore and rediscover their creative voice.

We've had such an ace time with the Parent and Baby Art Hour workshops over the last few weeks! Thank you to all those who attended, we have received some amazing and valuable feedback. Thank you also to our brilliant artists in residence Emma and Amy for hosting the workshops and making it such an enjoyable and safe space for both parents and baby! Check out the artists page here... @emmapowelletc @amyhutchingsprints

It was great to be able to create a safe space and see parents able to do something a bit different, something therapeutic and creative alongside juggling babies and toddlers (of course whilst eating cake and having a catch up with old friends and new!).

We hope to be hosting more of these sessions in the next few months with the new artists in residence...sign up to our newsletter to find out when!

Some of the really positive feedback we received...
"Very friendly and welcoming. There was something for everyone and it was very laid back"
"Really enjoyed it. Very therapeutic. Safe space."
"It was really welcoming. A lovely opportunity to do something a bit different"
"Love the hands on approach and chance to do something new"
"Loved it - easy to do with baby with lots of help too! Nice to do something creative and fun with baby and to keep"
"Really fun session, I loved making handprints of my baby for the first time. Thank you so much!"

What a fabulous community workshop Valley Arts ran yesterday with our Artist in residence Amy Hutchings! It was a free Tote Bag Printing workshop at East Harptree Pavillion, open to all ages from 6+. Celebrating the solstice and connection between nature and community, the workshop explored a mixed arts approach using print making, stencils, textiles and creative leaf foraging.

We had a sold out workshop with 20 participants, and a mixture of all ages, which was fabulous to see. Amy showed everyone how to print and stencil designs onto tote bags using a variety of foraged leaves, fabric paint, brushes, sponges and stencils. Each participant left with their own beautifully decorated and unique tote bag celebrating the upcoming Hidden Voices community play.

Thank you to Valley Arts for inviting the Arts Hub to take part in this fantastic project and for funding the workshop and to our talented artist and facilitator Amy Hutchings (follow at @amyhutchingsprints )

A big shout out to the Arts Hub's two brilliant artists pictured here who put on really creative and engaging art workshops all morning - families got stuck into leaf printing with Amy and creating googley-eyed animals in the Combe with Emma.

Thank you to everyone who attended our brunch on Sunday and made it such a special day, we had a fantastic turnout and there was such a buzz in the village hall! ✨⚡🎨🖌️

And of course thank you to all those who volunteered on the day and donated their time (and delicious cakes!) to make the day run smoothly.

These photos are courtesy of the amazing Meg Lovell who took some snaps during the event - thank you Meg! Follow them here...@meglovellphoto

The Hunky Punk exhibition is up at St Laurence Church, East Harptree, until tomorrow at 5pm! 👹 Drop by and see what 9 children from East Harptree Primary school have been making with our artist in residence @louisnealeart and local sculptor @patrickbarkersculptor during the second Hunky Punk heritage project collaboration with Project Newton and the Heritage fund.

St Laurence church has an array of original decorative hunky punks on the church towers, and the children were tasked to recreate their own version using clay. Thank you to Louis Neale and Patrick Barker and of course the children of East Harptree primary school for getting involved with this project! The sculptures are incredibly detailed and creative and all very unique 😍✨

The exhibition highlights the hidden rarities of historic Somerset culture and the lost crafts that people and communities once dedicated themselves to.

Arts Hub artist in residence @kerigreenillustrator held a fantastic illustrated card workshop last Saturday in East Harptree Pavillion, as part of the East Harptree Flower and Craft Show workshops.

We had a great turn out for the workshop, especially popular with families and everyone got stuck in creating their own illustrated card - or multiple cards! - with Keri's guidance.

Looking forward to seeing some of the greeting cards entered into the East Harptree Flower and Crafts show!

To see the final pieces come along to the exhibition of the works on 6th July 2:30-5pm at St Laurence Church as part of the Rising Waters Creative Celebration Day, alongside the Roman Writing Tablet works created at Louis Neale's workshop and many other art, writing and music activities!

A project in collaboration with Rising Waters Community Project and the Arts Hub, funded by Valley Arts

Super excited to announce the Hunky Punk Heritage Project, a collaboration between the Arts Hub, East Harptree Primary School and the Newton Project with St Laurence Church, East Harptree.

🧑🏻‍🎨 Arts Hub artist @louisnealeart and local artist and villager @patrickbarkersculptor ran a series of after school classes with children from East Harptree Primary school.

👹The project entailed a rediscovery of culture and imagination as the group of children from the school participated in designing and creating their very own Hunky Punk sculpture out of clay. We were really impressed with the fantastically creative Hunky Punk creations!

⛪ We are inviting you to our community exhibition on 8th and 9th June at St Laurence church where the Hunky Punks will be displayed between 10am - 5pm. Come and view the modern day Hunky Punks!

🗿 What is a Hunky Punk? A stone sculpture from 15th century Somerset. These short squatted figures are found on church towers through the rural region - and on St Laurence church East Harptree. Their decorative features are deeply rooted in folklore and story-telling, depicting mythological creatures and animals.

Saturday's Roman Tablet Writing Workshop run by our artist in residence @louisnealeart was a great success! Everyone created their own rustic Roman Writing Tablet as the Romans would have long ago at Chew Valley. We chiseled into wooden tablets and poured hot bees wax into the grooves, then carved our own picture into the wax and wound nettle cordage to hang the tablet. The process was really interesting and we all had great fun. Everyone's work turned out amazingly!

Thank you Louis for making such a creative afternoon delving into history and crafts. And huge thanks to Rising Waters Community Project @valleyartscv for funding this workshop and collaborating with us on this project!

To see the final pieces come along to our at the exhibition of the works on 6th July at St Laurence Church as part of the Rising Waters Project celebration day! Really looking forward to showing these brilliant writing tablets 🪵🕯️✍🏻🏛️
