Mel Davies’ annual solo exhibition returns to the Mills with a new body of work inspired by stories and memories from his childhood. A semi-autobiographical romp through his youth.

Visit the Spinning Mill Loft, above Mel’s space in our artists’ studios, for an atmospheric and immersive experience in one of the rarely seen areas of Sunny Bank Mills.

A series of Portraits of Mothers, completed over the Summer of 2024 by Ellie Andrews.

The women depicted in the exhibition are each at a different place in their individual motherhood experience.

Shared life experiences and connected moments between the artist and each woman are the backbone of this exhibition. They have orbited each other over the years and now suddenly all find ourselves in the same place - as women navigating our own mental health, future ambitions, career changes and a changing world, all through the lens of Motherhood.

Fully tutored six week course.

Running on Wednesday evenings 7-9pm from 23 October to 27 November this six week fully tutored course offers an exploration into the key techniques and methods used to depict the human figure. 

The classes will be relaxed and friendly and although the course is aimed at beginners all levels are welcome to come along.

What we will do:
