Last week our fabulous billboard team was busy getting our new piece in place titled Milk Thief by

For years my parents have been trying to catch a milk thief who each night has been opening one milk bottle in the night in an attempt to steal their milk. This is a creature tactile enough to open the foiled lid completely, but not enough to drink much more than a teaspoon of the milk. It is clever enough never to be caught, but too skittish not to cover their tracks. After placing a camera at the back door, my parents discovered that it could be badger, crow, or rodent, we are still none the wiser as to who it is.

We recently had the pleasure of holding a fabulous event at Ebor Studio with Kara giving a talk about sculpture for primary school teachers with LCEP Create Rochdale.

We hope the attendees enjoyed the day as much as ourselves and found it not only helpful but also inspiring so they can continue to deliver and broaden the art education and skills of their students.

Recently Ebor associate artist Natalie Sharp spoke with Bella from Further Afield. This is a series of conversations exploring art and disability in rural spaces.

Natalie is a disabled artist based in Todmorden. Their conversion covers the rural cumbrian coastline as a source of crucial inspiration to Natalie’s current work, finding accessible creative community in the exciting arts scene of Todmorden, and explore how arts organisations can offer meaningful and enjoyable collaboration with rurally based disabled artists.
