A talented Sheffield College lecturer has won a prestigious national award in the catering and hospitality sector’s equivalent of the Oscars.

The Craft Guild of Chefs Awards celebrate culinary excellence across the UK and beyond and comprise 18 categories. The awards recognise industry talent from apprentice and trainee chefs to seasoned experts established in their careers working in hospitality, pubs and restaurants

Len Unwin, Curriculum Team Leader, Catering and Hospitality, won the chef lecturer award category.

Len said: “It is an absolute honour to have won this award and given the calibre of the leading lights in the industry who were also recognised in other categories.”

He added: “We are very proud of our links with top employers and being able to involve them in our curriculum and train our students for high level competitions.

“Industry experience is vitally important to equipping the next generation with the skills that catering and hospitality employers need.”

Escape to the Sea

Karen Sherwood, better known as the owner and director of Cupola Gallery, is presenting her latest body of work under the title ‘Escape To The Sea’ (15 July-19 August). Karen describes her work as expressive landscape paintings.

“My paintings evolve through the process of painting,” she said. “They all start as completely abstract marks and colours and slowly decide what they want to be. The mood and content of the images seem to reflect how I am feeling about the world resulting in often quite turbulent or moody images, unsurprising in our rather unsettling times.”

All works are painted in oil and are for sale. They vary hugely in size from tiny miniature works, on paper, measuring only 5x7cm up to a large 150 x 80 cm oil on linen.

Ryoko Minamitani is also holding her first solo show with Cupola Gallery after exhibiting with the gallery over a number of years.

“Her Japanese heritage can be seen in her expressive use of gestural mark making with ink and paint,” said Karen. “There is a fluidity and freedom in her bold sweeps of brush or pen and in her use of a variety of materials. Whether large or small scale there is an energy and a stillness, if that’s not an oxymoron, in her paintings.”

Views from the roofs of S6

Simon Slater of Slaters Aerial Services has a different ‘office view’ to most of us – a rooftop vista of Sheffield. But can you guess where exactly he was when he took this photograph?

Follow @SlatersAerials on Twitter – the answer will be revealed at the end of each month. Last time, did you spot that Simon was at Stannington Christ Church.
