In February 2026, Atelier Ellis, makers of beautiful, breathable bio-based paint, curates and hosts a new creative initiative and exhibition.

The inaugural theme is What Colour is Home? Meditations & Conversations .

Cassandra Ellis, founder and colourist of Atelier Ellis, has brought together Celia Dowson, Stephanie Forrest, Isobel Napier, Nancy Nicholson and Andrea Walsh to meditate and converse on what colour says ‘this is home ’to them.

Each artist has been asked to consider how colour feeds their work and how what they make influences their notion of home and that of their clients. They have been invited to respond to this meditation with a personal conversation through their practice—documenting their thinking as well as creating specific pieces for the exhibition

Stephanie Forrest has released a new series of work expanding her experimentation and love of blue using Japanese suminagashi indigo ink, whilst Andrea Walsh has made a series of studies and arrangements exploring softness and our relationship to objects at home. Working with paper and wood to echo the quality of cloth, Isobel Napier studies the tension between fragility and solidity, control and chance. Glass artist, Celia Dowson celebrates glowing, morning light, reflecting on her happy childhood memories. Weaver Nancy Nicholson responds to her Great-grandmother Winifred’s painting ‘Northrigg Hill’, a painting that wraps her and her family in safety.
