REPOST @tobacco_factory : As part of our 25 year celebrations we commissioned @limbiccinema to create a moving image piece, mapped onto the rear of our building. The 'Strike A Light' project takes the viewer on a journey, picking out key historical moments from Tobacco Factory's industrial past up to the present day. Look out for early Tobacco Factory Theatre shows, Shakespeare at Tobacco Factory, our beer festival and, of course, our 'Strike a Light for Independents' motto. #community #local #tobaccofactory #whatson #Bristol #visitbristol #lovebristol #art #TobaccoFactoryturns25 #LightProjection
FACE OF THE HIGH STREET: Winston the beagle is curled up and fast asleep under Helen’s feet as we sit down for a chat. The popular pup has become a well known face on the street along with owner Helen Owen. Two years since opening, Casper has become a thriving, vibrant addition to North Street, supporting independent and emerging artists and designers. Helen was able to combine her passion and skills for business and art, to establish her spot on the street by opening the combined retail and gallery space. Helen moved to Bristol and worked at The Prince's Trust and managed smaller charities and Social Enterprises supporting young people to start their own businesses. Working in this field, Helen was able to develop the skills required to take on the task to start her own. With an illustrator husband, she quickly realised the business and arts partnership could thrive and she successfully managed the less creative side of the arts world for him. Word spread that she was doing a brilliant job and quickly, Helen was travelling to markets and fairs, offering a platform for creatives to sell through. In October 2017, having moved to the BS3 area, she decided to open her first shop and was quickly embraced as part of the Bedminster community. Helen explains that it really is a community with everyone working together and supporting one another. Casper showcases independent artists, with 90% being Bristol based, Helen aims to offer a platform for individuals to showcase their work and has successfully built relationships with a number of local artists.This includes a pop-up shop in the back, which is currently occupied by vibrant vintage store, Something Elsie. Helen is currently in the process of expanding her gorgeous business with the addition of an online shop so customers can browse from the comfort of their home. You can visit Casper and say hello to Winston at 221 North St, Bristol BS3 1JJ, or follow them on their social media channels. #bedminster #community #local #whatson #art #design #creative #faceofthehighstreet #shopping #highstreet #bs3 #beagle #northstreet #eaststreet #weststreet #shoppers

FACE OF THE HIGH STREET : Rob Rosewarne. Dear Old Thing is a hidden gem on West Street, with six rooms filled with trinkets and antique furniture, owned and operated by Rob Rosewarne. Twenty years ago Rob left behind the world of electronic security and decided to pursue a career in antiques. Specialising in Chinese antiques for years, Rob has travelled to China over 50 times, sourcing and importing furniture to sell, before moving on to specialise in UK furniture in the last seven years. Rob opened his first shop on West Street five years ago following a weekly trip to Mezzaluna for his Sunday dinner. He noticed that the shop opposite was vacant and available to rent and this was the start of Dear Old Thing, as we know and love today. Having always lived locally, Rob loves Bedminster for the colourfulness, convenience and friendly atmosphere that surrounds the area. He talks about the regular customers that he has grown to know and recounts the funny stories with a smile on his face. With something different in the shop everyday, there are so many stories to accompany each individual piece and about the creative team he works alongside, including the projects that see the transformation of a drum kit into clock faces. Having pursued his passion in the form of antique furniture, Rob talks about how enjoys the interactive side of customer service and enjoys meeting a wide array of people from the community. You can visit Dear Old Thing at 107 West Street, Monday - Saturday between 10am - 5:30pm or Sunday 10am - 4pm or visit their website: http://www.dearoldthing.co.uk/.
