# # #

I'm Hannah Nunn a nature inspired artist based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire who makes lighting, wallpaper, window films and paper treasures! About 20 years ago I was holding some paper cuts up to the light to enjoy the silhouettes they made and I had an 'aha' moment. 'Why don't I make lights?' I saw a whole range of glowing lighting flash before me! I'm very excited to say that all these years

later these lamps are creating cosy corners in homes all over the world and that they have been the making of my career as an artist. You can find out how the story unfolded and watch a beautiful video about my story on my website. https://www.hannahnunn.co.uk/pages/about-hannah-nunn

I don't have my Facebook messages switched on so please email me [email protected] with any queries.

A little bit of flickering candle light from my new hawthorn blossom candle cover, the smallest member of the new hawthorn family!

It's sitting next to one of little beautifully delicate bud vases which I LOVE 💛

The Hawthorns are available to order on my website now.

I'm enjoying having a catalogue of sweet video clips after having in the studio to do one of her 'film Friday' sessions the other week. She created me a collection of snippets either to string together to tell a story or to use on their own. I highly recommend her eye and her skills. I'd love to do one with her every season if I can.

Here are some of my large stems hanging up in the studio. All (except the ferns) are available on my website. 

Come and see them in real life at which is on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of July. Not long now 😊

Five years ago I made a pact with myself to create a printed nature journal every year for ten years, each one full of my photographs, illustrations and words about my deepening relationship with nature.

I have just printed the fifth one which means I’m half way there already!

No.1 is a gentle walk through the seasons

No.2 tells the story of how nature held me after losing my studio in a huge fire

No.3 is what I noticed in my year of rest and recuperation after a hysterectomy

No.4 celebrates our beautiful meadow wedding - the build up, the midsummer high and the come down

And here we are at No.5. This one holds thoughts about gathering back our scattered attention in a noisy, scary and rapidly changing world.

People say they find my journals uplifting, nourishing and inspiring. They read them slowly, savouring the moments, feeling the calm, noticing new things of their own and they look forward to them coming out each year.

You can find issue five (and the others) on my website now and they can be posted around the world.

Let's see what we notice together. x

Thank you for your lovely ‘film friday’ clips that have helped me to tell the story. I haven’t added music because I love the fact that our blackbird started singing when I was reading about him. And I probably should oil our creaky front door but I kind of like it. It’s the sound of home.

We all had tears in the studio today when we heard the news.

He was our living legend, our David Hockney. He was doing it, living it, being it.

I was thinking how sad it was that his light has gone out but then it dawned on me that it'll never go out. He has left SO MUCH of that light and colour in the world for us. Apparently he was painting his carers recently. That spark to create staying bright right til the very end.

Wow!

It really brings it home how much value that art and creativity brings to the world! Imagine if he's never been here at all!

Not sure who took the pic of David and Joni. My Dad just sent it to me. What a pair of legends together.

I had another magical owlet encounter the other night, this time very close to home. Can you see them? 🦉🦉🦉

It was soooo special.

After our owlet encounter in the bluebells last month I read The Company of Owls by to learn more about their habits and she really opened my eyes...my owl eyes! I was inspired by what I refer to as her 'owl attention' and I wished I could hone mine.

The other night I heard an unfamiliar sound in amongst the dusk chorus. I glanced around hopefully for owlets and located one straight away on a wall looking right at me! Eeeeek! Then it flew up high to join its siblings and they all stared down at me doing their circling head thing.

I would never have seen them had I not been so obsessed with learning all the songs and sounds of our local birds. Their calls stood out to me.

Thank you so much Polly. I found my owl babies! I'm so glad to know that they are there.💚

It's good to see the results of all the twitting and twooing that we heard from our house earlier in the year.

I made lots of hawthorn blossom stems and put them all together. They look so pretty en masse.

A satisfying end to my working week and I have lots of new ideas to percolate over the weekend.

Have a good one x

My new hawthorn blossom lamp is now available to order on my website.

I've always loved these beautiful and magical trees but this year they have spoken to me more than ever.

It's good to be able to honour them in a lamp design and illuminate their beauty.

Best job ever!

In just four weeks time it will be our big town wide Hebden Bridge Open Studios where there will be a hundred and six artists and makers opening their studios or exhibiting collectively in shared venues all over town.

We have a free brochure with all of the artists listed which is good to peruse before the event so you can plan your route and you can have your one sent out to you for the price of the postage.

You can order one on website from the 'events' page and I'm the 'posting brochures out monitor' so I will send it to you 💛. I'll put a direct link in my stories in a min.

I've been sending them to many places across the UK so far. It's nice that people will travel to visit us ☺️

It's nice to see the foxgloves popping open all over the place outside. We have lots that have found their way into our garden this year. I'm glad they received the invitation!

I've got a lamp to celebrate them.

You can find it on my website.

The hawthorn blossoms have faded outside now but in my studio they are very much still blooming!

I've been working on a hawthorn table lamp. The blossoms are cut out of parchment paper to create a bright white layer when lit, the leaves are stuck on to create a shadow. It sounds straight forward but there's lots to think about when laying out a design for a lamp. If I create too large a cut out or stuck on area, it can distort the shape of the cylinder when it's rolled into a lamp so I have to find the perfect balance. First I made it with too many leaves together in one place and the lamp ended up with such a flat middle! And of course the teeny details like the stamen can't be too teeny or else they will burn away in the laser so there has been lots of experimenting with that too.

After much tweaking I made it work today.

Now I need to take a photo of the finished lamp.
