A cyanotype-style artwork featuring delicate, wispy white plant forms set against a deep blue background. The translucent botanical shapes appear suspended and drifting, with fine tendrils and organic curves creating an ethereal, underwater-like effect. The scientific name Conferva tibia is handwritten at the bottom centre of the print

Head to South Square for a great mix of free events and exhibitions. See an heritage display in the Community Room and hear talks from the Thornton Antiquarian Society who will have an open studio for you to explore their archive.

Plus, they’ll be free demonstrations from Sue Tomkins, a member of StrawCraftsmen, showing you how to make your own Corn Dollies.

Join the South Square Collage Club to learn how to make your own heritage themed collage. They’ll be some photos from antiquarians archive, plus old Bradford maps to create your own artwork, so come along and have a go for free!

This will be happening alongside exhibitions in the galleries including ‘Costing the Earth’, a partnership exhibition with Impressions Gallery, a solo exhibition in Plenty at the Square by Saima Kaur, who creates hand embroideries that are inspired by the textile” traditions of Punjab, India, and a pop-up exhibition by Thornton Beckfoot School students in the Community Room.

Free drop in.
