Tim Tudor: Floating Worlds
We are welcoming back Tim Tudor, a painter and sculptor based at Sculpture lounge studios, Holmfirth.
We enjoyed having ‘Floating Worlds’ in our Carr Lane gallery so much that we knew we had to bring Tim back for the launch of The Long Wall Gallery!
Tim presents two distinct yet complimentary sets of recent works under the title 'Floating Worlds'. One is a series of small skyscapes inspired by a thought experiment entitled 'look up’. The other is a set of four oil paintings Tim started in lockdown that form a body of work entitled 'crystal dimensions.' Both bodies of work Tim sees as long term and on going projects.
Join us on Friday 6th June, 7pm onwards for the launch of The Long Wall Gallery and the return of Floating Worlds, plus guest artists!
The Long Wall Gallery will be open from 10am - 1pm on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Super Seconds Sunday - 9th March 2025
Support Local at Super Seconds Sunday
Join us for our 4th Super Seconds Sunday, a new(ish) concept which we are running in order to help support our building, artist studio holders and local makers.
Come along on 9th March 2025 between 11am-2pm (well behaved dogs are allowed too!) and buy from local artists and makers.
For anyone that doesn’t already know, we currently support 11 micro businesses within our studios and are very proud of the broad range of creatives who operate from them.
With the costs of running a business increasing, we are now looking at different ways of supporting our studio holders by holding a community event, open to everyone.
On the second Sunday of every 3rd month, our doors will be open to the public in which you can come and purchase creatives’ “seconds” and artist materials. Held in our Create Space on New Street side of our building, double grey doors next to Destination.
A ‘creative second’ might look like an accidental fingerprint on a print, an upturned corner on a photograph, a re-fused glass keyring, or a ceramic bowl with the wrong coloured glaze on it. Basically any slight imperfection on a handmade which usually means it can’t be sold as easily, by the artist.
The event will help to save these pieces from being forgotten about in a cupboard or studio, getting them out into the world - living out the rest of their days in your homes!
This market is for creatives only, who are selling seconds or materials they may use in their own work.
STALLHOLDERS – there are a limited amount of stalls, available for £10. If you want to join us- book your stall and find out more information via our Art Shop or the BOOK EVENT button at the bottom of this page.

David Coldwell
View captured feelings from David Coldwell, in his new exhibition over at Zapato Taproom, running until 22nd February 2025.
I am a painter, writer and photographer based in West Yorkshire. My paintings and photographs have featured in a number of publications. I have published two books and co-edited two poetry collections. My paintings have been exhibited widely across the UK and are held in private collections.
Developing new skills and exploring different techniques has continued to enhance my expertise both as a painter and photographer.
I now work from a studio in the centre of Slaithwaite – a thriving village which you can find midway between Leeds and Manchester.
The painting process:
It may be memory or a ghost.
The desire is to capture a feeling, focusing on composition with a limited colour palette. Soon the painting will enter the experimental stage. This part of the process is like the wind: unpredictable, challenging. Sometimes the destination becomes unclear. Colours are mixed with glazes to create texture, depth and atmosphere. The trick is knowing when you have reached the destination.
Decorated Skin
Call out for photographers!
Want to be a part of our 'Decorated Skin' exhibition in 2025? We want to hear from photographers who will work collaboratively with other local artists to produce a group show that explores the way we decorate our bodies.
Interested? Come in to the Slaithwiate Studio, email admin@globearts.org.uk, or drop us a message on Insta!
Mixed Media w. Beverley Kendall demo
WHO: Beverley Kendall joins us in the New Year with a 3 week mixed media course.

Van Gogh Poets & Lovers - London Trip '24
Join Jackie & Zoe on this full day trip to The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London -
to see the Van Gogh Exhibition!
As part of our 10th year in business, we are celebrating in the capital, and we want to bring you along for the ride.
We will be travelling to London with Stotts Coaches on Thursday 12th December, leaving from Globe Arts Studio, at 7am - please arrive at 6.45am. Due to the number of tickets we are selling, it would be very helpful if you could either walk to us/ get dropped off/ come in a car with other people joining us for the trip- just so we don’t take up the majority of Slaithwaite’s car parking spots!
The driver has allotted up to 5 hours of travel time in each direction, so be sure to bring bottled water, and we will be in contact closer to the time about their food and hot drink policy whilst on board, toilet facilities etc.
Once we arrive at The National Gallery, we will have an hour or so to get some food from the Gallery cafe or surrounding cafes, plus look at the general exhibitions/ displays inside.
As we have 50 tickets in our Globe Arts Trip group, we’ll be split into 2 for the experience. At 1.30pm, half of our group will go into the VG exhibition, and the other half will follow at 1.45pm, they suggest we allow 50–60 minutes for the experience.
Between 2.30-4.30pm the Globees will be heading over to the National Portrait Gallery, 1 minute walk away, and you are more than welcome to come with us, or feel free to spend the extra time in the National Gallery.
We will be gathering at the arranged meeting point at 4.45pm, and getting back onto the coach to set off at 5pm. Once on the coach, we will have a group discussion about our favourite part of the experience and pass our sketchbooks around!
Arriving back at Globe Arts Studio around 10pm
We are releasing our tickets in the following order;
1st release to Friends Of Globe and our staff, the Globees
2nd release to all current clients
3rd release to the general mailing list
We have 2 ticket types-
£62= return coach journey and Van Gogh ticket
£75= return coach journey and Van Gogh ticket, plus an Art Kit (Globe Arts Tote Bag, Globe Arts Pink Pig A5 sketchbook, a pencil case with B,2B and 4B pencil, eraser and sharpener, plus a selection of coloured felt tips- as per the Gallery’s rules)
The Gallery’s FAQs
We're allowed to use a handheld pad of paper, pencil, graphite stick, or felt-tipped pens in the Gallery.
To ensure the safety of the collection backpacks/bags should be carried/worn on the front or held at the side.
Feel free to take photographs for personal, non-commercial use, unless a sign says you shouldn't.

Trafford Parsons: REBEL
The art show "Rebel," featuring work by Trafford Parsons, is a powerful exploration of rebellion in its many forms, celebrating iconic figures who have defied norms and shaped culture. The inspiration behind this show stems from Parsons' deep admiration for those who challenge the status quo, whether in music, film, or society at large. With a particular focus on musical rebels, Parsons’ work in "Rebel" pays tribute to the boundary-pushers who have left an indelible mark on the world.
The show also features other portraits of musical rebels, each rendered in Parsons' signature style—vivid colors, sharp contrasts, and a mix of pop culture with deeper, often subversive, commentary. Parsons captures the raw energy and attitude of these figures, using bold lines and vibrant hues to reflect their impact on music and culture.
"Rebel" is more than just an art show; it's a celebration of those who dare to be different, who challenge conventions, and who inspire others to do the same. Through his work, Parsons not only honors these rebels but also encourages viewers to embrace their own rebellious spirit. The show serves as a reminder that rebellion, in its truest form, is not just about defiance—it’s about the courage to be yourself, no matter the cost.
Join us for the preview on the 7th December, 4pm onwards. Our Christmas Art Market will be running from 11am to 5pm, so why not drop in and make a day of it!

Tom Ratcliffe: Fruit and Veg
Our very good friend, Artist & Art Historian, Tom Ratcliffe, is showing a new collection of work over at Zapato Tap this October.
Join us for the preview on Friday 18th October, 7pm onwards. Grab a beer, have a chat with Tom and enjoy the exhibition!
‘Fruit and Veg’ will be showing until 27th November for anyone that can’t get to the preview.
‘My work is influenced by the theoretical writings of the philosopher Michel Foucault. The best illustration of this is that it could be considered to be a ‘node within a network’: that is a node or confluence between different forms of representation. Much of my work is based on the genres of still-life, landscape, portraiture and conventional artistic practices but is also engages with metaphor operating between image and meaning.
The work in this exhibition develops the themes of still-life with structures derived from geometrical sub-division of the surface, akin to processes found in analytical Cubism. These forms are subjected to transformations exploring image reversal, fragmentation and complimentary colour/colour. These pieces are also something of a workshop that is involved with transition from acrylics to oil painting, more especially in the smaller canvases of fruit and vegetables, where oils are the principal medium.
Many of the images hover between figuration and abstraction and much of the work naturally evolves as a series, although each stand alone as individual works engaging with techniques derive from printmaking, painting, and photography. There is therefore, an intended journey, a sense of time as the audience travels between these related works.’
Northern Illustrators: DRAW ME A STORY
Draw me a Story is an exhibition showcasing the talent of six children's book illustrators living in the north of England. It celebrates the diversity of styles, mediums and processes used to create published works for children's literature, from picture books to graphic novels.

Join us and Frances for our Meet the Artist afternoon on Saturday 3rd August, 4pm onwards. The world as I see it will be running until 26th August, as part of our Summer Exhibition!

Yorkshire Colourists: Collective exhibition
This July, we welcome back the Yorkshire Colourists, though this time their work will be over at Zapato Tap!
Yorkshire Colourists are a collective of five artists living and working in and around the moorland regions of West Yorkshire.
They take their inspiration from landscapes near and far but always seeking out the colour and textures to be found in the rich tapestry of fields, rocky crags, changing light, cloudscapes, mountains, moorlands, rivers and stone walls wherever they may be. All these elements evoke a variety of vibrant responses from the five artists and it is this combination of a common love but five distinctly different approaches that makes this group so exciting with a growing reputation.
Join us for the preview night on Friday 19th July, 7pm onwards.
If you can't make the preview night, then the exhibition will run from Saturday 20th July through to 8th September.
Super Seconds Sunday
Support Local at Super Seconds Sunday
Join us for our 2nd Super Seconds Sunday, a brand new concept which we are running in order to help support our building, artist studio holders and local makers.
Come along between 11am-2pm (well behaved dogs are allowed too!) and buy from local artists and makers.
For anyone that doesn’t already know, we currently support 11 micro businesses within our studios and are very proud of the broad range of creatives who operate from them. With the costs of running a business increasing, we are now looking at different ways of supporting our studio holders by holding a community event, open to everyone.
On the second Sunday of every 3rd month, our doors will be open to the public in which you can come and purchase creatives’ “seconds” and artist materials. Held in our Create Space on New Street side of our building, double grey doors next to Destination.
A ‘creative second’ might look like an accidental fingerprint on a print, an upturned corner on a photograph, a re-fused glass keyring, or a ceramic bowl with the wrong coloured glaze on it. Basically any slight imperfection on a handmade which usually means it can’t be sold as easily, by the artist.
The event will help to save these pieces from being forgotten about in a cupboard or studio, getting them out into the world - living out the rest of their days in your homes!
This market is for creatives only, who are selling seconds or materials they may use in their own work.
STALLHOLDERS – there are a limited amount of stalls, available for £10. If you want to join us- book your stall and find out more information via our Art Shop or the BOOK EVENT button at the bottom of this page.
