Exhibitions Workshops Events January - April 015 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.
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.
Ropery Hall is a small community venue with a capacity of around 120 that offers a programme of film, theatre, music and comedy.

Happy Birthday to us!

elcome to the Ropewalk visited by more than half a million Magazine. people.
On 14 April 2000 The Ropewalk opened its doors for the first time as an Arts Centre. After a long proud history manufacturing ropes that spanned the globe for nearly 200 years the building was recycled by The Waterside Artists to start (we hoped) another chapter in the building’s proud history. Over the years we have developed from the new kids on the block to be firmly established in the regional arts scene. Longevity is something to be proud of in the arts but what matters to me most is the comments I get from people on a daily basis about how they enjoy The Ropewalk experience. I was delighted to see visitor numbers at The Ropewalk have risen again last year with more than 100,000 visits. In total since we opened we have been
Fifteen years on and we are still learning and changing. Recently The Ropewalk’s involvement in the Small Venues Network has helped us delve into the rich depths of spoken word performances. This season we have Andrew Fusek Peters talking about nature writing and a Readers’ Day in March with opportunities to listen to and talk to three fascinating authors. We are not complacent. The staff at The Ropewalk continue to look for ways to improve and develop what we do. I hope you find our evolution interesting and will stay with us for the next 15 years of the journey.

jewellery
Featured Jewellers
January Gosia Niedzwiedzka With a background in architecture, Gosia has been a professional jewellery maker for eight years. Her love for crochet spans back to childhood, watching and learning from her grandmother. Her favourite material to work with is silver wire, she likes how it can be transformed with different techniques – from hammering, to oxidizing, and polishing.
February - Rachel Brown Through the use of enamelling Rachel transforms her ‘doodle’ type patterns on to her jewellery surfaces. By overfiring white enamel it produces subtle shades of blue and grey through to yellow. The patterns and textures are applied with a graphite pencil and an oxidising stain. The patterns are not planned on the enamel and as such each piece of jewellery is unique.
March - Diane Lee Using various techniques, such as traditional metal-smithing Diane mixes this with copper and glass to create textures which are inspired by nature and narratives. The symbolism of the hare occurs frequently within her work and refers to the unconventional spirit within. She also has a passion for adding colour to her work, by using handmade beads, both Murano and Artizan.
April - Caroline Finlay Caroline’s inspiration comes from pattern, form, texture and colour found in her natural surroundings, in particular the shoreline. Textured surfaces are created by mark making on metal by etching, embossing, hammering and fusing as well as exploring Basse-taille and Champleve vitreous enamelling techniques.

craft
Craft Debbie Barber After first training as a textile artist, specialising in embroidery and surface decoration, Debbie returned to college to retrain as a potter. Now she combines her love of colour, texture and pattern that she used in her textiles with her new medium, clay. Debbie takes inspiration from the natural world, birds, trees and leaves for example. Her forms are simple, strong shapes and she uses surface pattern to introduce complexity and interest.
Rick Henham It’s five years since Rick first showed his work at The Ropewalk with a Gaolyard Studio Potters exhibition. Now we are delighted to welcome him back with a selection of his ceramic work displayed in the Box Gallery throughout January. “Plain forms worked to a completely smooth finish, help create the effect I’m after in this range of work. Comprised mainly of black and white bowls and vases with a simple motif cut into the glaze....weather worn pebbles, surf on the shore and the meandering horizon line are an influence.”

exhibitions
Gathering Clive Redshaw is an artist who values his sense of wonder. Working directly from nature, often in his own garden, he carefully observes, draws and paints. He is affected by the change of seasons and their corresponding variations of colours, shapes and light. “The wonders are everywhere in the quiet things that we pass by each day, things glanced and apparently familiar and for me very often they are literally just down the garden path.”
Clive Redshaw
Clive encourages the viewer to pause for a while and to take pleasure in the commonplace “…in essence the show is about, the small things, and the calmness of simply looking and seeing.” Gallery One January 10 – February 15
Nigel Tooby “Of our times: the price of money”

Gillian Hobson
Letitia Thompson: ‘ Little Paintings From A Small Village’ Paintings about the landscape, animals and imagined stories.
Artist Gillian Hobson’s enduring concerns of colour, light and space find new form in Lightlines, a major showing of contemporary works at The Ropewalk in March 2015. Working with photography, moving image, sound and installation she explores and expresses the intuitive resonances at play between us and the spaces we live in. Using imagery amassed from an intimate study of light and shadow in her own home, she sets up tensions between the affective dimensions of environmental experience, investigating how light can be used to articulate the complex relation of person to place through ideas of the real/imaginary, familiar/strange. In Lightlines the photograph, as a suspended moment, is mobilised as a site and sight of speculation and conjecture, taking different forms which represent the particular and evolving conditions of where life takes place and the poetic dimensions therein. Stemming from her background with glass sculpture and architectural space, these new works use movement, light and scale to function as transforming and transporting mechanisms for the known and unknown, making new configurations and new readings of interior spaces and our relationship with them possible.

T
he Small Venues Network brings us the tale of Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes, who is brought to life in this dramatic and humorous solo performance by Aidan Dooley. Come along on March 7 to hear the riveting true stories of Crean’s Antarctic explorations as one of the few men to serve with both Scott and Shackleton and survive the three famous expeditions, Discovery, (1901 – 1904); Terra Nova (1910 – 1913); and Endurance (1914 - 1916). His story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of the Antarctic with his 36 mile, solitary trek to base camp during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue his comrades Teddy Evans and William Lashly being described by Antarctic historians as “the finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration”. Not surprisingly Crean was subsequently awarded the Albert Medal for his bravery.
O
ur last event in the current programme sees the return of European Arts Company, fresh from a West End run of The Trials of Oscar Wilde, with a thrilling adaptation of Wilde’s only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. Set in the decadent world of Victorian London, a beautiful, narcissistic young man called Dorian Gray becomes infatuated by the exquisite portrait that Basil Hallward has painted of him. He makes a Faustian pact that he will remain forever young while the picture grows old. Combining drawing room comedy and Gothic horror, this is a gripping and hugely entertaining theatrical event.

music
Fancy a Tune?
T
here’s so much music this season I cannot begin to do it justice here. We are looking forward to bringing you regular favourites Burden of Paradise, Barb Jungr with her new collection of contemporary arrangements together with a whole host of new acts. I hope I can be forgiven for going on a bit of a nostalgia trip but can it really be twenty years since Mark Morriss first shimmied into our lives as singer with The Bluetones? Apparently so. A similar period must have elapsed since Colin Vearncombe as Black lit up the charts with his timeless ‘Wonderful Life’, and a string of well-received albums. Don’t miss this chance to hear a rare intimate and up-close show. With a brand new album out, you can expect to hear a stunning selection of new songs as well as your favourites. Please have a look at our website for more details on all the performers and “friend” us on Facebook to get news of any ticket offers or additions to the programme. Liz

music Mad Dog Folk presents... As Ropery Hall cements its reputation for quality folk Mick has put another brilliant programme together. The Young Folk showcase starts the year with a band on a mission NE3Folk. Combining Shetland and Scandinavian fiddle with delicate accordion, driving guitar and eclectic influences, they are dragging traditional music kicking, tapping and soaring into the modern era. This is followed later in the year by Jim Moray, one of the most consistently inventive musicians working in English traditional music today, The Jaywalkers one of the most exciting, virtuosic and entertaining young bands working on the British folk scene, BBC Young Folk Award finalists 2009 and 4Square bringing the sight and sound of simultaneous fiddle and clog dancing and virtuosic mandolin which will stir the senses and quicken the pulse, galvanised by an engine-room of driving piano and percussion.
As an added bonus we have thrown in ‘Womenfolk’ a triple bill featuring three of the UK’s outstanding female singersongwriters. Since her self-financed debut in 2000 Kathryn Williams has released 10 critically acclaimed studio albums that have quietly established her as one the truly distinctive voices of UK music. She will be joined by two relative newcomers who’ve spent 2014 garnering critical acclaim and new fans. Welsh harpist and singer Georgia Ruth described as ‘one of British folk’s discoveries of the year” by The Guardian won the 2013 Welsh Music Prize and was nominated for two 2014 BB Folk Awards while Maz O’ Connor, whose second album ‘Willowed Light’ was described by The Observer as ‘Folk album of the year thus far’, mixes traditional and self-penned songs combining gorgeous melodies and exquisite vocals.

Mark has got a bit bluesy this year with Paul Jones and Dave Kelly returning in January - no doubt to a sellout audience. In February there is Marcus Bonfanti, the man with the amazing blues voice and in March we look forward to Babajack. New to Ropery Hall is Bronwynne Brent (pictured left). This Mississippi native blends shades of country noir, Southern gothic and spaghetti Western soundtracks, dusted with blues and honky-tonk. With a tough yet tender voice that’s been likened to Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee and Amy Winehouse, she cemented her rising-star status with glowing reviews for her second album released in 2014, Stardust.

comedy
Comedy at Ropery Hall Like a good cheese, comedians mature in time. It is interesting to watch how comedians develop in their careers. Suzi Ruffell first performed here as support to Josh Widdecombe just a week after she signed for comedy agents Off the Kerb. A year later she was back to support Alan Carr and now two years on from her debut here she is touring a double header with Romesh Ranganathan. Like all art forms comedy takes talent but also a great deal of work and application. Suzi has grown over the last two years and has become a mature and assured performer. We look forward to welcoming her back. We will also be welcoming the return of the irrepressible Mr Patrick Monahan. Pat is a huge favourite with Ropewalk staff and it’s not hard to see why. A skilled performer who manages to make everyone feel involved his charm, comedy timing and jokes have to be experienced first hand to get the full effect.
Suzi Ruffell
Fresh from supporting some of the UK’s top comedians on their sold out tours, Suzi Ruffell hits the road with her hotly anticipated second show Social Chameleon.
