First of all, thank you all for continuing to support the Hatton Gallery.
The Learning Programme continues to flourish and currently has about two to three schools taking part in activities most weeks. As well as schools and colleges attending there is also a regular practical art session each week for people over fifty five years of age which is run by Equal Arts.
Each fortnight a refugee group attend and do printmaking and collage with artist Theresa Easton. We also work with recovery groups, hearing impaired groups, hospitalised children and a variety of other community groups
The Hatton will be showing an exhibition called Sustainable Clay from February to May 2025 which shows the work of contemporary artists using clay as well as some Sunderland Ware and Maling.
The workshops for children running through this period will be focusing on clay and giving children the opportunity to handle and make something with this material.
Also thank you for providing art and craft workshops yourselves on some Saturdays, wonderfully organised by Josephine Cousins. A further activity is the programme of talks by artists and historians which we must thank Polina Chizhova for organising and selecting such wonderful speakers
