Paul Nash & Fay Godwin
Drawing on photographs owned by the City of Sheffield, this exhibition shines a spotlight on two different artists with a common fascination; the British landscape.
Fay Godwin began her career as a portrait photographer but later in life became enthralled with the scenery she found while out walking. The photographs on display here are from a selection published in collaboration with poet Ted Hughes in 1979. Remains of Elmet uses poetry and photography to illustrate the remains of culture, legend, myth and industry in the Calder Valley, West Yorkshire. Paul Nash, best known for his paintings during both world wars, also came to landscape photography later in his career, turning the camera on themes which had always featured strongly in his paintings. These photographs were taken between 1931 and Nash’s death in 1946, and form part of the ‘Private World’ collection, originally published in 1978. Taken on his travels around England and across the globe, they vividly illustrate Nash’s painterly eye for shape, detail and symbolism.

Watercolour in Britain: Tradition and Beyond
Watercolour paintings have become shorthand for a comforting, conservative world view, rooted in the English countryside, championed by Prince Charles, and largely rejected by the contemporary art scene. It wasn’t always so. Watercolour in Britain will illustrate the remarkable diversity of a truly British art form and show that watercolour has been used by many different cultures over the centuries, each with their own ideas about art, expression and technique. Featuring rarely seen paintings by artists including JMW Turner, William Blake and Edward Burra, this exhibition looks at watercolour's iconic status in our cultural heritage before asking ‘where next?’ From sculptors such as Henry Moore and Anish Kapoor, to Surrealists like Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland, Watercolour in Britain showcases those artists who have pushed the boundaries of its potential. Watercolour in Britain: Tradition and Beyond is the latest exhibition as part of the Great British Art Debate at Museums Sheffield.
to Sun 24th October 2010
 
Teatopia
Teatopia is a new craft and design exhibition which delights in our national obsession with tea. Tea-drinking has linked British culture with many other countries and cultures throughout history and these connections are still vibrant today. As the habits and rituals associated with the drink have changed alongside our lifestyles, designers have responded by producing new tea wares and design solutions to make the process easier, or simply more elegant. This exhibition includes historic objects such as fine ceramics and metalwork from Sheffield’s own collections alongside iconic contemporary art, design and craft pieces. See stunning new sculptural work from rising star of UK ceramics Hitomi Hosono and Sheffield-based illustrator Geo Law, who has created a contemporary tea towel design exclusively for the exhibition.
