 orn artist Kevin Jones draws much of his inspiration from long walks with 
 Bran\, his blue merle border collie. Time spent in the landscape allows hi
 m to connect deeply with nature\, observing how weather\, terrain\, and sh
 ifting seasons shape the world around him. His paintings explore the inter
 play between natural elements and ever-changing light.\n“The interest fo
 r me is in the way that light breathes life into the landscape. No matter 
 how often I might walk in a particular landscape I find that the light is 
 always different. I love to observe how light and seasonal change interact
  and impact the landscape\, and I am constantly chasing and trying to capt
 ure the subtle but powerful beauty of nature in my paintings.”\n \n\n \n
 Annie Lancaster\n\n\nBased in Elland\, West Yorkshire\, Annie Lancaster is
  a textile artist specialising in hand embroidery\, goldwork\, and traditi
 onal rag rugging. Her practice blends historical craft with contemporary s
 ensitivity\, often incorporating vintage fabrics\, lace\, trims\, and York
 shire wool—materials she dyes\, repurposes\, and reimagines. Annie’s w
 ork is rooted in both heritage and sustainability\, frequently using texti
 les that might otherwise have gone to landfill.\n\nHer inspiration comes f
 rom architectural details and the natural world. She sketches and photogra
 phs plants\, animals\, insects\, and historic motifs\, later transforming 
 these observations into intricate textile pieces in her home studio.\n\n \
 n\n \n\nEntrance to the exhibition included with a standard Self Guided To
 ur ticket (£6) or Guided Tour ticket (£12).\n\nBook your tour now!\n\n&n
