Exhibitions Workshops Events January - April 2014 The Ropewalk • Barton upon Humber
The Ropewalk was built in 1801 and as Hall’s Barton Ropery manufactured ropes for the world. It closed as a working factory in 1989 and was brought back to life as an arts centre in April 2000 by an artists’ co-operative who still manage the site today. The Grade II listed building is a cultural quarter of a mile long!
The Ropewalk has 3 temporary exhibition spaces with a rolling exhibition programme that ensures there is always something new to see.
Workshops
The Ropewalk offers a stimulating programme of art and craft workshops that run throughout the year, including regular classes in printmaking and life drawing and day classes in a range of activities.
Events
The Craft Gallery continually displays in excess of 200 makers’ work from throughout the country including jewellery, ceramics, glass, textiles and a wide selection of artist-made greeting cards. The Hall-Mark Room displays a range of contemporary prints and collectables.
Ropery Hall is a small community venue with a capacity of around 120 that offers a programme of film, theatre, music and comedy.

Are you feeling philanthropic?
R
ecent figures shared by Sir Peter Bazalgette the current Arts Council chair show that the average Arts organisation make up their income in four ways: Twenty nine per cent from Arts Council grant aid from the tax payer; 11% other public funding (usually local authorities); 50% Commercial revenues such as ticket sales and sponsorship and finally philanthropy averages 11% of their income. I always thought that The Ropewalk was not the average Arts organisation - turns out that I’m right! Last year 11% of our income came from the Arts Council, less than 0.5% from Philanthropy and the remaining 88.7% was commercial revenue.

exhibition
Collection: Rachel Wood
R
achel Wood makes individual pieces using stoneware clay, which are coiled, slabbed or thrown, and frequently distorted during the process. The natural spontaneous qualities of the clay are important to her so that each pot conveys its own spirit and character. She want her pots to have a pulse and a heartbeat; hence she works in a very free and unrestrained way. Her recent travels in Australia and working with potter, Robin Welch, have been pivotal in her development. The colours, shapes and the textures of the landscape, in particular the Dark Peak areas around Kinder , Derbyshire, provide constant inspiration.
“My personal intuitive touch is an integral part of these pots – a dent in the soft clay, a tear, rip, and a finger or handprint in the glaze. I want the marks to reflect the journey of exploration and learning in each pot, just as a wrinkle depicts expression and character in a human face. The scratch of a metal kidney, the groove of a wooden twig, a sweep of a brush, they all create a linear dynamic on the surface of the pot. Some are deliberate, some incidental; none are removed, as they are all part and parcel of the pot’s character. It is inspired by the strong need we all have to be touched.” Rachel’s work is on display in the Box Gallery from March 1 - 30

jewellery
Featured Jewellers
January - Jo Lavelle Jo uses silver and semi precious beads to create one off pieces of jewellery. She tries to create volume and movement within her work, which is achieved by using repeated forms. Using tags or loopy tags that are bunched in a variety of ways, which form a kinetic, voluminous and textured effect.
February - Jayne Childs Jayne makes contemporary lace from original designs in her Nottingham studio using a machine to interpret her CAD design into thread, before finishing and assembling the creations into contemporary lace jewellery. Her inspiration comes from the industrial heritage of Nottingham, drawing heavily on old Nottingham Lace technical drawings.
March - Judith Brown After studying embroidery at Manchester Judith has taken a simple stitching technique and pushed it beyond the boundaries of textiles to create original jewellery. Using fine wire as thread, she stitches without fabric to create intricate forms. Her work incorporates found objects, in particular vintage haberdashery.
April - Caroline Brogden Caroline Brogden runs SeaBreeze Designs in South Yorkshire which offers unique coastal inspired jewellery using eco-conscious materials. She uses sterling silver and other ethically sourced materials wherever possible. Sea glass plays a strong part in the jewellery range due to her fascination with using a man-made material softened and shaped by natural forces.

Poppies & Postcards
D
uring WWI, the postcard industry reached its peak, as thousands of soldiers on the battlefields of Western Europe sent postcards to mothers, wives, sweathearts and friends back home, and postcards with messages of love and support were sent from home to the frontlines. Photographic artist Lee Karen Stow brings together postcard-sized botanical images of the common cornflower poppy with a series of WWI original postcards exploring the roles of women during four years of conflict, after which the accepted perception of what women were capable of changed irrevocably. Poppies & Postcards forms part of Stow’s major documentary project Poppies (Women and War) sponsored by Arts Council England which tells the stories of women affected by and involved in wars and conflicts, from WWI to the present day.

A Flight of Fancy
P
am Grimmond and Chris Moss are two artists whose work differ in media but have a common theme. Pam is a printmaker who is strongly influenced by the environment around her. Birds and the natural forms of trees and plants seen on walks around her home are a constant source of inspiration. Shapes and colours from these landscapes often find their way into her work. Chris too is influenced by the natural world. Her wire sculptures have a realism about them that gives a sense of life and energy to the subject. Her studies of birds resemble a three dimensional drawing. – a carefully observed anatomical sketch describing form and movement.
Riverscapes
C
olin Taylor has exhibited throughout the UK and internationally. He divides his time between his twin passions of mountaineering and painting with each activity influencing the other. Colin’s work transfers experience and emotion directly to canvas. His direct and rapidly executed approach conveys a determined and unique focus to represent the unrepresentable. This new body of work, created especially for The Ropewalk, includes views of the Humber from an aerial perspective which has necessitated taking to the air in a light aircraft.

workshops
Woven by hand
O
n Saturday, February 1, we welcome for the first time to The Ropewalk, Hull based weaver Hollie Ward. She will be holding a workshop focussing on traditional hand woven techniques such as tapestry, coiling and twining which can then be used to create a variety of art pieces or products using 2D and 3D elements. These can be used in traditional or contemporary ways using a variety of materials from alpaca wool to plastic bags. Inspiration can be taken from anything so the workshop will begin with choosing colours and yarns to create an individual piece of work. Hollie will also lead a discussion of ideas to help inspire those taking part in the workshop. Hollie has a studio at Studio Eleven in Hull and has at the time of writing been enjoying a placement in Cambridge working with Susie Olczak and Heidi Lichterman as well as the art:language:location exhibition throughout Cambridge. She studied Textile Crafts at the University of Huddersfield and has hosted various workshops as well as exhibiting in various exhibitions in Edinburgh, Hull and Huddersfield.
Please note that, in response to participants’ feedback, all material charges are now included in the cost of workshops so there will no extra charges on the day.

2014 Pitch Perfect
T
here’s plenty of variety in the first music programme of the year. Independent promoters Mark and Mick have booked some great gigs and I’ve added a couple more for good measure. Confirming my belief that Barton upon Humber is the centre of the universe we have yet another world class musician on our stage in March. A native of Segou in Mali, the internationally-acclaimed Grammy nominated superstar, Bassekou Kouyate has taken the ngoni – the four stringed African lute and ancestor of the banjo – and exuberantly hurled it into the 21st century. Performing with his band Ngoniba (recently described by the Independent as the best rock’n’roll band in the world), Kouyate combines a total mastery of traditional playing techniques with an intoxicating mix of jazz, blues and rock to create high energy, jawdropping live shows that have to be seen to be believed.
Bassekou Kouyate
Hilary James and Simon Mayor return together with Richard Collins as Slim Panatella and the Mellow Virginians. This world-class collective on mandolin, violin and bass will light up your evening with an addictive blend of 30s, 40s and 50s jazz, swing, ragtime, country blues and originals. The band features composer, fiddler and guitarist Simon Mayor, three time UK banjo champion Richard Collins, and folk vocalist Hilary James, who is also a mean mandobass player. Snake Davis, (our in-house saxophonist!) alongside Helen Watson perform with the very mellow Burden of Paradise in February and Iain Matthews is also back with material from his new album in April. This is just a snap shot and as always the full details are on our website www. the-ropewalk.co.uk as well as being listed here. Liz

music mtm presents Boo Hewerdine and Brooks William in January and the Aynsley Lister Band in April see the return of two favourites of Ropery hall. Mark also has 3 new acts for Ropery Hall: The Stray Birds, Petunia and the Vipers and Peter Mulvey.
Josienne Clark & Ben Walker
Mad Dog Folk This will be the second year we are promoting Folk on the last Saturday of the month in conjunction with Mad Dog Folk. We start the year with a Young Folk Showcase, just like last year, and for just £5 you can see three acts: Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar, The Teacups and The Black Feathers. The programme continues with more, young award winning duos and Mick has booked all the acts for the year so look out for the special 2014 Folk Fliers with an extra date for Polish Folk act Brasy in April.
The Stray Birds have a sound drawn from the richness of American folk music traditions, spun with a stirring subtlety and grace. From bustling street corners to silent halls, their performances speak to an uncompromising reverence for songs. Petunia and The Vipers thrive on the challenge of adding Latin rhythms to a country blues tune, or gypsy flavouring to a rockabilly standard. Petunia’s lyrics relates to living life on one’s own terms – fearlessly and without regret a totally unique vocalist who can’t really be compared to anyone else. Peter Mulvey is one of the finest singer songwriters in the world today as witnessed by his many highly acclaimed CDs. Twenty-odd years on the road, performing songs from his own catalogue and from a vast, varied, and deep well of classic and obscure covers, has prepared Mulvey to deliver this collection.

J
ulie Andrews’ fans have a treat in store in March when Ropery Hall stages what has been described as “a personal love letter to a hugely talented performer, delivered with true affection.”
The Sound Of Julie
Friday, March 14, is the night that award-winning singer, West End actress and Fascinating Aida star, Sarah-Louise Young, brings her cheeky but affectionate show to Barton with Julie, Madly, Deeply. Adored by millions, Dame Julie Andrews is a genuine legend of entertainment. This new cabaret is a delightfully funny and candid love letter to a true show business survivor. Using songs from Andrews’ famed musicals and films, and supported by musical director Michael Roulston on the piano, Sarah-Louise tells the story of Andrews’ life and rise to fame with hilarious comedy anecdotes linking the songs. The show also includes SarahLouise’s own personal responses to Julie’s stage and screen works, all delivered with a sweet self-effacing
grace that stops it from becoming too sentimental. An audience singalong Sound of Music medley at the end of the show gives the promise of allowing the audience to finally release their inner Julie! Why not come along and share in her passion and joy for Julie – her enthusiasm is infectious. She’s guaranteed to melt the hearts of any cynics or Julie Andrews virgins with this wonderful show which is suitable for those aged 12 years and over.

Half-term Adventure - The Flying Flapper Doris Grimblebottom seems to live an uneventful life. Retired in her small cottage in the Lincolnshire countryside, the days can seem a little lonely. But when her washing machine breaks down, Doris calls out the best handyman for miles around… Stan, and suddenly the opportunities for adventure and DIY seem limitless. Join Rhubarb Theatre for this flight of fantasy where Stan the handyman discovers that there is more to this little old lady than meets the eye. This is a family show suitable for five years and over. 8 February 18 February 1 March 14 March

Comedy OD
I
seem to have gone a bit mad this season when it comes to comedy. I usually try to limit us to one show a month but there was just too much choice! Susan Calman stamps my Radio 4 News Quiz collectors card as she brings a one hour work in progress show to Barton at the end of January. Then the next night (if only I looked at my wall planner properly) I am asking you to come out again on the same weekend for an evening with Rob Newman, but I just know you are not going to disappoint me - there will be nothing on the telly anyway. Two weeks later its one of my comedy heroes Mark Thomas (actually I’m not selling tickets for that, I’ve just booked him for a Valentine’s dinner with me – but he doesn’t know that yet.)
March and April are all about the ladies. Comic Jo Caulfield will bring more of her oh so true observations to Ropery Hall that three years ago had a full house in stitches. (For those of you who saw her I know men who are still trying to work out who would win in a fight between a shark and a tiger.) Local performance poet Ruth E Dixon and friends offer a night of poetry and music at the beginning of April and Mary Bourke rounds off the programme a week later with her quietly spoken Irish lilting killer lines. Hope to see you for a few nights. It might be cold outside but Ropery Hall comedy nights offer a very warm welcome. Liz
Robert Newman’s New Theory of Evolution Rob describes the 150-year controversy in evolutionary theory and explores how the latest science demonstrates that DNA is not destiny. From Prince Kropotkin escaping a Tsarist dungeon to altruistic vampire bats and Richard Dawkins’ postman wrestling naked, Rob Newman argues that co-operation drives evolution more than competition. In the past 20 years Rob has performed solo stand-up shows including From “Caliban to The Taliban (500 years of Humanitarian Intervention)” and “Apocalypso Now”. He has also written regularly for The Guardian and produced four novels. His TV and radio credits include Robert Newman’s History of Oil (More4), History of the World Backwards (BBC Four), Newman & Baddiel In Pieces (BBC Two) and The Mary Whitehouse Experience (BBC Two).

comedy craft Susan Calman Edinburgh Fringe favourite Susan has her own Radio 4 series “Calman is Convicted” and is a panel regular on the News Quiz and the Now Show. She has also made winning guest appearances on TV shows Have I Got News For You and Q.I. Susan will be asking lots of questions. Questions like where is she, what is she doing with her life, and can she put cat wrangler as her occupation on a mortgage application? Susan thinks about a lot of things. Sometimes she says them out loud, often just to her cats, but sometimes to other people as well. Mark Thomas is well versed in the art of creative mayhem and over the years his troublemaking has changed laws, cost companies millions and annoyed those who most deserved to be. Now he returns to what he does best, mischief- joyously bad behaviour with a purpose. After his award winning show Bravo Figaro Mark sets himself the task of committing 100 Acts of Minor Dissent in the space of a year. Mark catalogues everything from the smallest and silliest gesture to the grandest confrontations and the results are subversive, hilarious, mainly legal and occasionally inspiring.

comedy Jo Caulfield – Celebration of Anger Jo’s always wondered why anger is seen as such a bad thing. When life presents such irritations as vacuous celebrities, endless TV quiz shows, arrogant shop-assistants, emotionally “challenged” men, drunken girlfriends who always pick the wrong partner and a husband who continually quotes The Godfather, surely having a good rant – and a good laugh – is the only sensible reaction? Enjoy your anger. Mary Bourke - Muffragette Mary Bourke’s self assured comedy sets out to take on both the timeless complaints of misogyny and women’s oppression alongside modern phenomena, such as Twitter and Eamonn Holmes. Her confrontational, yet conversational, style is as refreshing as it is funny. It’s a show about feminism without all the boring preachy bits.
