For the last year Clare Carter has been looking back at drawings and photographs made during her brief time living in Lanzarote and creating a series of reduction lino prints reflecting on her journey.
‘Working through my experiences has been a kind of therapy, I am also trying to understand what that particular part of the world actually means to me, and where to go from here. It feels like I am the child again making images of her fantasy island life, but this time from the other side of actually experiencing it, and through the eyes of a mother watching her own children grow, wondering if my fantasy should be their reality. I can’t help but view this chain of interlinked experiences as an archipelago in itself.’

Needling The Felt
This body of work is a continuation of my on going journey of exploring the exciting and colourful capabilities of what I would term painting with wool. I have visited and experimented with a wide area of subjects including landscapes and seascapes pulling out elements of detail and pattern creating finished textile pieces of work. I am particularly interested in the properties and power of the sea.

Painting Workshop exploring Thornton’s Natural Heritage using photography, drawing and gouache
In the first session, we will take photos of areas around South Square and Thornton Village using our phones; capturing views, light and colours and a moment in time. Using one or several of photos we will plan an eye catching painting.
Anji will provide a demonstration of gouache painting techniques, colour mixing and application. Then everyone can have go themselves, using various exercises to warm up and test to see what the scope of the medium is. During the second session, everyone will create their own paintings to take away with them. Anji will be on hand to offer support, advice and tips.
These step by step sessions are designed to be suitable for ALL abilities. We actively encourage people from Thornton and nearby to sign up particularly those who may not have attended a creative workshop previously.
About gouache
Gouache is a silky water based paint formally used to create magazine and advertising images in the days before Photoshop. It is a richer, denser cousin of watercolour and a brilliant, easy to use, forgiving paint for both beginners and seasoned painters.
About Anji Timlin
Like many other artists, her work is inspired by the drama of the local landscape and weather and responds to the spirit of place. Anji is interested in the ruins of heavy industry; the traces of the human footprint on the land in the post-industrial fringes of Bradford – auto-rewilding, anarchic, weedy and exuberant.
Anji studied Textile Design at Bradford School of Art before becoming a freelance textile designer. Since then she has worked in Bradford College teaching art, and as a Teaching Assistant in schools. In 2019 Anji was recipient of South Square’s Joan Day Bursary. Last November the main gallery hosted her first solo exhibition, Far Horizon Bound. The exhibition featured a plethora of local landscapes between Thornton and Haworth, depicting familiar places in a colourful playful way.
