The Crypt
The Crypt at the Chantry Chapel 5-9pm
Clinker, 1984-85 is Nicholas Vaughan’s visual exploration of the 1980’s mining strike, in which the artist will exhibit a body of work developed exclusively for this show, at two different locations in Wakefield.
With Coal Spire, a 2 meters high sculpture piece covered in clinker and coal, the artist recreates a local folklore account of a “tower of coal” underneath the Wakefield cathedral to bring together elements of the fantastic and surreal in a vivid interpretation of the people’s suffering and struggle during the strike. This is accomplished by way of a collaboration piece, the Novella In Our Veins written by Steven B. Williams, that weaves itself around Coal Spire. The sculpture is being shown at the Crypt underneath the Chantry Chapel on the 26th of September for one night only, together with a spoken-word performance of selected excerpts from In Our Veins, by Steven B. Williams. The piece and a further performance will then relocate.
Events on the evening
In our Veins, spoken-word performance by Steven B. Williams 7:00pm

July Artwalk
July Artwalk sees three artists which came together as members of the Friends of the Chantry Chapel. Angela & Brian are on the board of Trustees whilst Ann-Marie helps out with events and open days. All have a different approach to their art: Ann-Marie Day is inspired by dragons and the gothic culture, Angela Rusby,
Angela Rusby
Angela collage artist working in the Penistone area my work has been along the lines of self discovery and dealing with emotions that life can dish out from time to time. I hope my work has a sense of humour and can be a bit fun even if sometimes the subjects are not. I also have a keen interest in the written and spoken word and love to use that in all areas of my work .Pottery and sowing feature in my work and I am obsessed with all kinds of fabric which I try to include in most paintings. I have always undertaken large scale work and decorated many walls with murals including hospitals and children’s playcentres. I do love a good affirmation or a prayer and will include a positive saying anywhere I can. My next big body of work will be featuring prayers on ceramic or fabric and I hope to be exhibiting that later this year .

Linda Bulleyment Ceramics
Clay allows me to express my enjoyment of the natural world. Firstly through the potters' wheel and later with hand built pieces.
I began exploring clay with the thrown form determined to master this tactile medium.
Later when I began teaching I started to explore hand building with clay, I hope my students have learnt as much from me as I have from them.
Working from my studio I continue to explore my interpretation of the natural world around me. The bird baths, feeders and houses allow me to share with the small creatures in my garden. My sculptural pieces continue to evolve allowing me a little whimsy and individuality in each piece.
