We spent a very pleasant, sunny Sunday afternoon in Hebden Bridge today…
…including a visit to Snug Gallery on Market Street.
We were invited to their “Cupcakes & Cordial” open day.
It was a chance to say hello to owner, Ed Chadwick…
…and have a mooch around their recently-opened gallery shop.
The gallery features photographs by Ed himself…
…and some lovely, hand-crafted objects by a variety of artists & designer makers.
Including &made, Calico Angel, Rebecca Callis, Kathryn Edwards, Ruth Green, Ikuko Iwamoto, Linzi Ramsden, Louisa Taylor and Sarah Thirwell.
As well as the delicious cupcakes, there were lots of other tempting things on offer!!
We left with a couple of small purchases – a hanging porcelain bird by Rebecca Callis – a perfect present for someone special…
…and a bit of self-indulgence in the form of a very cute strawberry brooch by &made.
Hebden Bridge is famous for its wealth of interesting independent shops & galleries…
…and this gallery is a very welcome addition.
Here’s wishing Snug a bright future!
