Cheesy song and sentiments aside, we love it when people leave the gallery inspired to begin (or continue) their own creative journey. We are continually adding to our art supplies available for purchase but, if you're not really sure where to start, we have all manner of books and notebooks to help you on your way. Creativity doesn't have to just mean drawing or painting. Take a look at our current 100 day project exhibition; not everyone who took part is an artist. A new 100 day project will begin in February. Ask at the desk for more info or to leave your details to be contacted nearer the time.

Artist's (rainy) day off turned into an absolute groyne-fest and the discovery that Instagram has a surprising number of songs about groynes. Back to normality in the gallery tomorrow when I'll be setting up the exhibition of the 100 day project work. It'll be on display until the end of the month when the hell that is Xmas fights its way out of the box.

With October drawing to an end and Hallowe'en less than two weeks away, Holly • Sign-Writer & Mural Artist and I are trying to get ourselves organised. Hence a painting session in the gallery with Holly casting her magic hands over these glass baubles. These, and more, will be available for sale in the gallery from early November. If you'd like Holly • Sign-Writer & Mural Artist to personalised one for you, please do get in touch with all the details and she will wave that magic Posca wand! Personalised baubles £10.

Hiraeth - A Search for Belonging. Please share far and wide.

Open Call for an exhibition at Bluebell Would gallery to begin on 22nd January 2027. No application fees. Any media and open to all.

Apply by the end of November 2026 by emailing images of up to three works to [email protected], using Hiraeth as the subject and detailing size and media with a brief statement explaining what Hiraeth means to you and your work.

Not sure what Hiraeth means? English gives a very lazy definition of "homesickness" but it is way more nuanced than that. The best definition I've come across is the one given on the second slide by Pamela Petro. It comes from an excellent article by her, published on Wales.com.

Successful applicants will be notified by 19th December. Works need to be delivered to the gallery by appointment during opening hours the week beginning 11th January 2927 and picked up between 5pm and 9pm Friday 12th February 2027. Commission of 25% payable on sold items.

Bluebell Would is an accessible and inclusive gallery with a commitment to treating everyone with respect. Find us at 23 Sea View Street, Cleethorpes.

100 and done...time for a couple of days off. Celebrating reaching the end of the 100 day project by taking a couple of days off (my first in 7 months!) A massive thank you to the brave souls who attempted 100 days of creativity alongside me, even if you didn't make it to the end. It's a huge commitment and harder than it sounds. We will be exhibiting our work at the gallery from 22nd-31st October. Do come along and see what everyone achieved.
The gallery will be open again on Thursday at 11am by which time I will hopefully be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after some serious time devoted to sleep.

And while we're on the subject of Hallowe'en, we have just received a selection of - ahem - perfectly normal notebooks and colouring books. As well as some a little more acceptable in front of your maiden aunt. Plus a couple of prompt books, should your creativity have temporarily drifted out to sea...

Feeling autumnal enough for you yet? Don't dread the coming of the cold; celebrate the gorgeous colours around us and the approach of spookfest! Pop into the gallery for the most beautiful stained glass by peak.refractions , fused glass Hallowe'en delights by Katie Lynn Fused Glass Artist working in Essex , enamel pins from Stacey McEvoy Caunt , and just smell these fantastic autumn candles from RinkyDink Candles - Alternative Candles by Aimee Lauren .
Don't forget I will be closed on Sunday and Monday while I take my first days off in seven months! Gallery open as normal today and tomorrow, and then from Thursday.

Almost went for a Wizzard song because it really does feel like Xmas everyday coming into the gallery and setting out new stock. Here we have gorgeous new autumnal scents from , beautiful ceramics from Inga Winson , a very limited edition reduction linocut by Nick Coulbeck, fantastic new linocuts by Polly Marix Evans (including a cat that won't wake you up in the middle of the night yowling to go out), and some fabulous new framed wood engravings by Anthony | painter & printmaker (plus a new Listen to Meg, which just needs to unroll before presenting herself). The last image is a print from John Pedder 1/Many caretaker - so glad my name popped out of the hat. I will be donating to RNLI who save hundreds of lives every year, putting themselves potentially in harm's way without judgement. RNLI Cleethorpes does a fantastic job saving people and educating others about the dangerous aspects of our beautiful coastline.
