THE BOWERY, HEADINGLEY

I went to the launch of ‘The Bowery‘ last night. A new visual Arts space in Headingley, Leeds. It has a craft gallery, a lovely cafe, two upstairs galleries and a workshop space with an extensive programme of art courses for adults and children. Very exciting.

It’s run by Sandra Taberner who was inspired to do the whole project whilst in the Bowery district of New York.

There are Hannah Nunn lampshades lighting the cafe/bar, Rebecca Stoners sumptuous cushions adorning the comfy sofas in the seating area , murals up the stairs….Sandra has made cleverly made the art and craft a part of the interior. It’s lovely.

House Lamps and dimmer switches

Someone just asked me if my house lamps could be used with dimmer switches to make them into nightlights for childrens rooms. Just done the research and the answer is yes! You can get an adapter that you plug the lamp into that has a dimmer dial on it…or you can get them with remote controls too.
