The Hepworth Gallery, Wakefield, Yorkshire September 2014
The Hepworth Wakefield is an art gallery in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, which opened on 21 May 2011. The gallery is situated on the south side of the River Calder and takes its name from artist and sculptor Barbara Hepworth who was born and educated in the city.
Architecture
The Hepworth Wakefield is a structure composed of ten trapezoidal blocks; its upper-level galleries are lit by natural light from large windows in the pitched roofs. Its windows have views of the river, historic waterfront and the city skyline. The building's façade is clad with self-compacting pigmented concrete made on site, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. The architects selected the material to emphasise the gallery's sculptural appearance. The gallery has ground-floor visitor facilities, including a café and restaurant overlooking the river, a learning studio, a 100-seat auditorium and shop. The building's brutalist design is not universally popular with local people.
Collection
The Hepworth's 1600 square metres of purpose-built gallery space houses 44 plaster and aluminum working models donated by Dame Barbara Hepworth's family and temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. Items from Wakefield's art collection which spans the 16th century to the present day are on display, including works by Henry Moore, who was born in Castleford in the Wakefield district, Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland, Paul Nash, Jacob Epstein, Walter Sickert, Anthony Caro, Ivon Hitchens, LS Lowry, and David Hockney.
The gallery is a partner of Tate Plus, a project aimed at increasing public access to the national collection of British and international modern and contemporary art.
Wakefield: City on the move
For my AS photography course, I had to explore the theme 'transform'. I interpreted this as transforming still photos into a timelapse of inner city wakefield.

BONSAI at the BRICKLANE ART GALLERY, LONDON
Bonsai presented in a different way within an art gallery setting
There has long been discussion on whether or not bonsai is art. A novel and collaborative exhibition held at a famous contemporary art gallery in East London didn't ask that question, it simply stated 'Bonsai is an art' and posed a different question: 'What is possible when we broaden our horizons?'
Artists who created pieces especially for the show included blacksmith Agnes Jones, photographer Shinichi Adachi, sculptors Thorhammer Beowulf and Kevin Bielicki, table maker John Brocklehurst and the ceramicists Andrew Pearson, Anne Murray, Jo Woffinden and Clare Wakefield.

Bewildered Family Guide to Yorkshire - Wakefield
The kids and I took a family trip to Wakefield in West Yorkshire. Wakey isn’t exactly on the regular tourist map, but there is plenty to enjoy for kids and adults alike. We found culture, history, an homage to a great Julia Donaldson kids book and a varied music heritage.
Here’s our family guide to Wakefield in video form
I always love a good gallery and the Hepworth Wakefield is a very good gallery. Named after local artist and sculptor Barbara Hepworth, the venue houses much of her work as well as by other international modern artists. It also forms part of the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle with the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds Art Gallery and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Yes, Yorkshire triangles have four points. What are you going to do about it?
Elsa loved exploring the art works and drawing her favourites, while Seth was transfixed by water flowing over the weir on the River Calder through the window. I thought it would be the perfect place to encourage Elsa to work towards becoming a famous artist. If she did, that would make all the reams of paint-strewn paper she brings home from school worth a fortune.
Unfortunately, she would rather be a rock star, which is fine as long as she becomes one of those rock stars that goes to bed early and spends all their royalties on their parents.
One of the most recognisable Wakefield landmarks is Wakefield Cathedral. We popped in to have a look, but didn’t think it was appropriate to film inside. The place features intriguing medieval carvings and other features that are certainly well worth a look. It is also an oasis of calm away from the bustling city centre, whether you’re a churchy type or not.
Renowned composer Noel Gay stood in for the choirmaster of Wakefield Cathedral from the age of eight. The local lad went on to write some of the most famous music of the mid-20th century. He wrote the music, but not the lyrics to The Lambeth Walk. Of course, if he’d written the lyrics, being from Yorkshire, it would have been name T’Lambeth Walk (‘Ow Much For a Pint Down ‘Ere?).
Just outside of Wakefield is Anglers Country Park, home to the Room on the Broom Trail. If your kids love the work of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler (are there any children who don’t?), they can live the dream here. There are wooden sculptures placed around the circular route that depict scenes from the book.
It’s a great place for the kids to run free (although with an appropriate adult eye ensuring they don’t stray too close to the lake) and search out the scenes from the story, the animal footprints and fill in the activity sheets. However, the trail so inspired my two, they spent the next three weeks demanding Room on the Broom every night at bedtime. Be warned.
Wakefield might not be an obvious choice for a family friendly day out in Yorkshire, but I think we proved that there is plenty to do. What did we miss, though? What else would you recommend for families in Wakefield? Leave a comment below!
