New window takeover 👀

This time we’ve handed the window over to - a South Korean artist now based here in West Yorkshire.

Her work is packed with colour, characters, tiny details and the sort of things you notice more the longer you look. Old shops, everyday places, odd little moments, hidden stories, all given their own personality.

This is exactly why we love doing these window takeovers… because the shopfront turns into a little gallery space and gives people a reason to stop, look twice and discover an artist they might not have come across before.

There are prints and tea towels too, so if something catches your eye, pop in and have a closer look.

Sid has already spent far too long trying to find himself hidden in one of the pictures. He’s convinced he’s in there somewhere. 😂

🎨 27 spaces left!!

If you’ve been meaning to sign up for the Calderdale Plein Air Competition 2026, this is your nudge.

Registration closes 5th September, and there are just 27 places remaining.

The competition takes place in Hebden Bridge on Saturday 12th September, 7:30am–5pm, which means you have a FULL day to find your spot, set up your easel and paint the valley as you see it.

It’s £10 to enter, and you can register using the QR code or via the Craft & Canvas website.

No pressure… but once those 27 spaces are gone, they’re gone.

Sid says he’s already reserved one.

Greg says sheep are not eligible.

Sid is now appealing the decision. 🤣

Happy Birthday to Mark (the other half of Greg, and the calmer half of the operation… allegedly). 😂

While Greg is usually the one getting dragged into Sid’s latest nonsense, Mark tries to keep Craft & Canvas looking like an actual shop rather than a wool-based theme park. 🤣

Today we’re celebrating the man who smiles through the chaos and probably deserves far more cake than he’s going to get.

Greg made a card…
Sid has probably forgotten where he put it…
and we provided the glitter…

What could possibly go wrong? 😝

Happy Birthday, Mark! Hope you have a brilliant day, with love from all of us at Craft & Canvas 🥳

You know that drawer full of “useful sewing bits” where nothing useful can ever actually be found? …Or the old Danish cookie tin? 🤪

These little sewing kits come packed with thread, scissors, tape measure, needles, thimble, seam ripper, safety pins, buttons, fasteners all tucked neatly into a proper little tin.

Perfect for keeping at home, taking away, popping in a caravan, suitcase or craft bag.

Sid says every household needs one.

Greg says Sid doesn’t even wear clothes.

Sid says that’s completely beside the point. 😂

Apparently the weather has looked at the calendar and gone:

“Right. That’s enough summer.” ☔😂

So… excellent timing for a wool sale!

We’ve got loads of lovely yarn reduced in store at the moment, including Rowan Felted Tweed, West Yorkshire Spinners ColourLab DK, Morris DK and more.

Which means if the forecast is going to give us a week of rain, you may as well lean into it properly:

Sid has already declared it “knitting weather.”

Greg pointed out that Sid cannot knit.

Sid says that has never stopped him having opinions before. 🤣

Pop in and have a rummage while the sale stock lasts.

Rain outside. Yarn inside. Seems fair. 👍

Pavement poetry… “You’re not broken. You’re a DISCO BALL!” 🪩 The Chubby Northerner

Honestly, we’re not arguing with that! 🤣

A little colour, a little kindness and a reminder that sometimes you don’t need fixing… you just need to catch the light differently.

Sid has read it three times and is now demanding his own disco ball.

Greg has declined the request… for now 🤪

Hebden Bridge being Hebden Bridge - even the pavement is artistry in motion. ❤️

A little reminder for the painters among you…

The Calderdale Plein Air Competition 2026 is getting closer, so if you’ve been thinking “I’ll register later”… this is later. 😄

Saturday 12th September
Hebden Bridge
7:30am–5pm
£10 entry

You’ll have the day to head out around Hebden Bridge, find your spot, and paint whatever catches your eye.

A quiet corner.
A stone bridge.
The hills.
The river.
Someone’s dog refusing to move out of shot.

All fair game. 😂

Registration closes 5th September, so don’t leave it too late!

Scan the QR code on the poster or register via the Craft & Canvas website.

Sid says he’s still entering.

Greg says eating the scenery doesn’t count as plein air.

We’ll let the judges decide. 🤪

No palette.
No squeezing tubes.
No immediately losing the lid.
…Just pick a colour and get stuck in.

They’re smooth, highly pigmented and brilliant for sketching, layering, mark-making or just getting a bit more hands-on with your painting.

The colour range is impressive 😍

Greg says they’re very sophisticated artist materials.

Sid says they look like giant crayons.

For once… both are technically correct. 😂

If you fancy trying something a little different with oils, come on in and have a look at the full Sennelier range. 🤗
