Each month an artist takes over the top-floor studio space at Just Makers, giving visitors the chance to see their work, learn more about how it's made and, on selected days, meet the artist while they're working.
November: Matty Burnham
Matty Burnham is a self-taught artist based near Leeds, working in pen and watercolour. He began drawing during lockdown and has since built a following for his distinctive illustrations of Yorkshire towns, villages and landscapes.
Matty will be working in our upstairs studio each Monday and Friday throughout November, accompanied by his dog, Moss. Pop upstairs to meet him, see his work in progress and have a chat.
Matty will be at Just Makers on the following dates:
Every MONDAY and FRIDAY throughout November.
Is Matty not here on the day you plan to visit?
Even when Matty isn't here, the Artist in Residence studio remains open whenever the gallery is open, with Matty's work and information about his process on display.
Coming in December
Joining us in December is seascape artist Ailsa Read. Her paintings explore the changing light, colour and atmosphere of the coast.
Visit our upstairs studio during her residency to meet Ailsa and see her work in progress.
