Jessica Broas

'Once Upon A Time'

Jessica Broas is a Walthamstow-based, American-born artist and milliner. Her work explores the place where old meets new, where the past touches the present. This collection of handcrafted, hand-dyed hats is inspired by family stories, cultural history and the textiles of William Morris.


Odette

'Throwing Shadows'

Odette is the artisan jewellery maker Evelyn Odette Mulholland. She was born in New Zealand, moved to London in 1999 and now lives in Hackney. Her creations are inspired by engineering, industrial art, classical mythology and the natural world. These pieces mimic the structure of insect wings and bird bones. Strong but delicate, they are wearable works of art.

Also featuring on this episode we catch passers by of the 1B to ask how they feel about the significant change to the neighbourhood now the old disused shopfront exhibits their friends and neighbours art works. 

Invisible Numbers is proud to announce the launch of 1B Window Gallery - a new community led initiative - working with St James Big Local community action group and Waltham Forest Council's Regeneration Team to create a gallery in the former disused shopfront of a sub-station at 1B Coppermill Lane.  
​
As a gallery, it provides a destination and point of interest to the gateway to the Walthamstow Wetlands. Invisible Numbers are curating a programme for 2019 to include local artists from the area and guest curatorial invitations to widen the reach and accessibility to local and up-and-coming artists. Artwork in the gallery can be viewed through the windows every day, with the aim to improve a sense of well-being for visitors and passers-by.
