Atelier Ellis launches our Makers programme - An annual initiative working with five renowned makers who inhabit the living arts.

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.

This May, Atelier Ellis, makers of beautiful, breathable bio-based paint, introduce a creative partnership with The Hepworth Wakefield for the Spring/Summer 2025 exhibition season.

A river running, the slick of a horse’s rump, a painting of flowers, Keats, friendships, the flight of a lark and a brown paper parcel tied up with string- all primeval and real sources of joy. And they say “this is me, this is home.

A fulsome, seasonal tableau. Gathering, turning and swaying from Spring’s rise through Autumn’s rich decline. A gentle revelry of the living and the still.

From March 1st, Atelier Ellis elevates our beautiful True Matt Emulsion to a bio-based formulation.
