Catching Up With Michael Harding On The Cass Couch Cass Art 2024-10-11 | Here at Cass Art, we have a long family history of supporting artists, and we’re excited to launch our new series - THE CASS COUCH. A space to chat all things art and creativity, where we sit down with the artists, makers, creatives and individuals who inspire us, and have conversations that go beyond the brushstrokes. For our very first episode, we’re thrilled to be joined by none other than the legendary Michael Harding! In this episode, we explore the magic behind colour, the importance of craftsmanship in painting, and why finger painting is a surprisingly powerful way to connect with your creative process. Plus, we get into a bit of history as we talk Rembrandt and what it means to turn 40 in the art world – because, let’s face it, a milestone is always worth celebrating! So, grab a cuppa (or perhaps a G&T if that’s more your vibe), sit back and enjoy! We hope you feel inspired to pick up your own brushes, whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out. Don’t forget to let us know in the comments who you'd love to see on the next Cass Couch. We’ll be keeping this going, so stay tuned for more episodes! The Cass Couch is here to celebrate art and creativity, one chat at a time. #CassArt #TheCassCouch #LetsFillThisTownWithArtists #MichaelHarding

BTS - UAL Student Emily designing the BWW mural Cass Art 2023-05-22 | A timelapse detailing the work of Emily Jackson, a second year Fine Art Student at UAL and the winner of this year's Big Walls and Windows Project, in partnership with @liquitexofficial and @cassart1984. Since 2013, Cass Art has supported the project and provided Fine Art students with the opportunity to create larger scale artwork.For the 2023 Big Walls & Windows Project, Emily Jackson has created a graphic mural inviting the public to step into a black-and-white abstract world. Watch as Emily creates her mural using flat colours and black lines, immersing the viewer in a muted space with each side of the wall containing a corridor which seemingly leads to the same doorway. Inspired by low-budget video games and their graphic nature, the mural creates a liminal space contrasting the surroundings of a busy art college with a greyscale to create a moment of stillness. Emily’s work is on show at the entrance to Camberwell College of Arts from 27 April – 28 May.Want to find out more about the project - visit www.cassart.co.uk for more information.Footage from Emily Jackson and video edited by Angela Tozzi.
