What an absolute pleasure and honour being at @metbury 50th anniversary was last night!
(Lee is very delicate still!)
A bigger honour was to be commissioned to do a commemorative art work which is now on show in the upstairs bar and got a fantastic response last night!
Thanks to everyone for their ongoing support

Who's next in our Two Crows Artist showcase?
Alison @alisonerikaforde (Mrs Crow) is co-director and founder of Two Crows.
She is slowly stepping back into painting after focusing on illustration work and a few years hiatus. Alison prefers to paint on found objects and avoids rectangles, currently revisiting loose repeat patterns, animals & kitsch collections.
Alison is open for painting commissions as well as illustration projects 💚

At Two Crows we are fully aware of the dire financial situation ordinary people are facing & our artists try to be as affordable as possible.
If you value art & artists, please help support creative trades over Ai 💚
It's been such a long time since we've showcased the Two Crows Artists, so no time like the present to shift focus to each different, individual practice. Lee @crockerart65 is co director and founder of Two Crows along with wife @alisonerikaforde .
His passion is sketchbooks and at the moment has 4 daily books on the go! Here's some snippets of recent sights captured in passing. Focusing on the day to day and capturing the everyday landscape as well as people 'making mundane memorable'.
Lee is open for commissions and the majority of his work is available as high quality prints.

Looking back through the assortment of Artwork swapped on our Washing Line Gallery for Spirit of Radcliffe across both venues: Radcliffe St Mary's Parish Church and Radcliffe Market 😻
It was amazing to see the creativity and talent flowing from all the different people who came along, you all loved the washing line, it was the most lively swapping we've ever seen!
Thankyou all 💚
