POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Most gorgeous weekend running the @oshana_co stall at @forwardsbristol supporting displaced Syrian, Palestinian and Lebanese women, and their families, with my Long-Arm-in-Chief @barneybeechstudio

Joyful to be sandwiched between the loveliest of folk @longwellrecords on one side, @bootlegsforabetterworld @disarmbristol
@prisoners4palestine @finecellwork on the other 🤍

Thank you to @rosapb.8 for getting up at the crack of dawn to help me set up in the driving rain, to Sidekick Barney for being on-hand as IT Helpdesk and food delivery man, to friends old and new who came by and supported. Huge gratitude to @teamlove_productions especially @flaxchris for welcoming us at your most special gathering 💘

Biggest thanks of all to the chair my dad made me when I was a wee nipper, which was precisely the extra three inches we needed to access the top rail.

We have lots more beautiful new stock online, so come on over for the most exquisite handmade embroidery and crochet homewares, accessories and clothing - with 100 per cent of the profits going to the displaced women who made them ❤️

‘It started with the building, falling in love with the building.’

When graphic designer and exhibition curator Barney Beech and acclaimed author Charlotte Philby first saw 17 Midland Road, they knew it could be something amazing. Neglected and in a state of disrepair, the building was in serious need of restoration–and the couple had the creative vision to bring it back to life.

A true labour of love, the couple have transformed the building into a multi-purpose space—part design studio, part gallery, and part guest accommodation—that aims to spark conversation and bring art closer to the community.

Took an extended lunch break today to check out Shaun's poster exhibition, spanning 30 years, at 17 Midland Road today.

His artwork and the Bristol music scene, especially our little chunk of it, are woven together closely. Getting to take a moment to reminisce on gigs gone by but also know there are so many more in the future he'll have his hand in artwork for (namely the incredible poster he's done for the upcoming Joyce Manor/Hot Water Music gigs) is so cool.

The exhibition is on till the 11th September and whether you were there or not, you should definitely go check it out!

Just to clear up any confusion…the Exhibition opening AND the live gig are on the same night- THURSDAY 4th September.
A few people pointed out the original flyers a bit confusing….which is totally what you want for an exhibition of flyers ay?! 😬
The exhibition then continues to run from 5th-11th at 17 Midland Road, Old Market, Bristol after the opening night.
Happy Monday everyone ❤️

T H I S I S Y O U R S I G N

To start taking those baby steps towards making your dreams a reality! A year ago this week I taught my last class for the last time after 20 years as a primary school teacher.

I had been growing my business representing artists using my home as a backdrop to the art slowly but surely for a few years and it was time to make a proper go of it. (The origin of the initial idea is a whole other story for another time!)

It was finally time to ‘DIVE’ into the art world as a gallerist full time!

I think my biggest takeaway from my experience so far of being a business owner is don’t wait for things to be absolutely perfect, just start the best you can for now and change things up as you go. As long as your idea is a strong one and you work hard and mean well, everything will work out!

One of the things I wanted to do once I had left teaching and was a full time art wrangler was to run pop up art exhibitions alongside my private gallery. It just wasn’t a possibility when I was still teaching.

Fast forward to June this year and that dream became a reality! (Thanks in no small part to @suzerileystudio and her brilliant idea in the first place!)

We curated DIVE which brought together 14 female artists inspired by swimming in all it’s forms and for many reasons. @17midlandroad was the perfect venue and we loved being there. Making this reel took me right back and it definitely made me a bit emosh, not gonna to lie!

The remaining works from the show are on my website until the end of the summer so if any have caught your eye feel free to head over and check them out! There are some stunners still to be had and you don’t necessarily need to be a fan of swimming to enjoy them! I have tagged the artists who were part of the show in the reel.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk! Have a lovely day! Em x

PS. There are two DIVE caps left from the show.. I added them to the website yesterday 💙🏊🏻‍♂️
