Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery Trust
became a charitable trust on 5th May 2011
and is managed by an independent board of
trustees. The Trust receives funding from
Carlisle City Council plus grants for many of
its activities from the Arts Council England
(ACE) and Cumbria County Council.
4 October – 11 January
With toys and games including Risk, GI
Joe and classic British toy soldiers, as well
as photographs and archive documents,
War Games represents differing sides
of conflicts from around the world. This
thought-provoking exhibition reveals the
sometimes surprising links between play
and wider attitudes towards warfare, and
delves into the secret history of toys as
tools of propaganda and espionage.
The exhibition is highly interactive,
encouraging children to dress up, play
at espionage and engage in many other
activities that encourage learning, while
photography, film and games all contribute
to a diverse and stimulating experience.
The display encourages visitors to question
their own views and contribute to a
debate on playing at war.
A rt G a l l e ry E x h ibiti o n s
War Games explores the fascinating
relationship between conflict and children’s
play, providing an insight into the ways
toys have been influenced by warfare from
1800 to the present day.

War Games
Curated by the Victoria and Albert
Museum of Childhood, the exhibition

Richard Slee: Work and Play
14 June – 14 September
Richard Slee (born Carlisle, 1946) has
built a reputation as one of Britain’s most
important contemporary ceramic artists.
His work challenges conventional notions
of ceramic art and demonstrates the fluid
boundaries of 21st century ceramic practice.
A rt G a l l e ry E x h ibiti o n s
This exhibition covers Slee’s most radical
work to date produced over the last 10
years. ‘Work and Play’ is grouped into two
themes: ‘Work’ which contains the tools
and signs of both business and industry;
and ‘Play’ which focuses on the equipment
and symbols of sport and leisure. In the
exhibition Slee evokes a fantasy of the
traditional day: eight hours work, eight
hours play.
This collection sees Slee exploring new
materials, processes and subject matter.
Inspired by a love for the ‘great indoors’
and a preoccupation with making, DIY and
popular culture Slee chose to reimagine
the world of commonplace tools, sports
equipment and domestic objects.
Slee’s work is celebrated as art and craft as
he remains committed to craft processes
and the domestic environment. Slee’s
one-off pieces demonstrate his peerless
ability to create impeccable super shiny
ceramics. His pieces flawlessly integrate
sourced materials and readymades from
DIY stores, toyshops and sports shops.
Some pieces contain no ceramics at all.
The results can be unexpected, humorous,
ridiculous, emphatic, melancholic or
entertaining. You decide.
To Book: 01228 618700
The show includes a speciallycommissioned work produced as part of a
creative response competition for Outside
In artists and is supported by online
learning resources. A limited edition, fine
press Artist’s Book ‘Means of Production
Richard Slee’ accompanies the exhibition.

Stunning in Silver
4 October 2014 – 11 January 2015
This display focuses on one of the most
romantic and extravagant wedding
dresses in the Tullie House collections.
Bulloughs Department Store in Carlisle
made the dress to the bride’s own design.
The bride chose an exquisite fabric for
her dress made from silver thread. As
an alternative to the traditional white
wedding dress it is simply stunning.

Muriel Cavaghan wore the dress for
her marriage to David Kerr Duff in

Worn to be Wild
28 June – 12 October
Designed and created by costume
maker and textile artist Kate Plumtree,
Worn to be Wild is a visual spectacle:
17 theatrical costumes, with head
dresses and accessories, inspired by
British wild birds and mammals,
many of which have links to the Tullie
House Natural History collection.

To Book: 01228 618700
E x h ibiti o n s G a l l e ry
This touring exhibition combines the
natural world with the evolution of period
dress from medieval times to the present
day. Each costume represents an individual
species and a specific era of fashion. As
part of the process, Kate researched
animal habitats, behaviour and physical
characteristics. This helped determine
which period style would best suit each
species, as well as providing locations and
concepts for the stunning photographs
that accompany the exhibition. Also on
display are Kate’s design and construction
portfolios, tactile fabric samples and
costumes to try on for both children
and adults.

Wall Face:
The Jewish Living Experience
Portraits of the people
who saved Hadrian’s Wall
2 – 11 December, Community Room
Free Entry
21 August - 9 November 2014
Border Galleries
The Jewish Living Experience is a touring
exhibition which enables visitors of any
age, all faiths and none, to experience
Judaism through beautifully illustrated
display panels and authentic artefacts,
many of which can be handled.
Wall Face features prints and photographs
of the pioneers who protected, conserved
or revealed Hadrian’s Wall. This Wall-wide
exhibition from the National Portrait Gallery
Collection includes 11 Roman attractions.
E x h ibiti o n s G a l l e ry
Tullie House has chosen to showcase
R G Collingwood. Although most famous
as the Waynflete Professor of Metaphysics
at the University of Oxford, he had a
lifelong interest in Roman archaeology and
the archaeology of Cumbria. Alongside
this portrait, there will be a display of
the finds from King’s Meadow in Carlisle,
which he published in the Transactions
of the Cumberland and Westmorland
Antiquarian and Archaeological Society.
Guides from Jewish communities will
explain each aspect of the exhibition and
answer questions about Judaism, a 5,000
year old faith and lifestyle sustained by
family values and a clear moral message.
The Jewish Living Experience is brought
to Carlisle by The Board of Deputies of
British Jews, the democratically elected
body that has represented the UK Jewish
Community for over 250 years.

Medieval Pottery Making
with Graham Taylor
Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 September,
10am – 4pm, Community Room
Saturday 11 October
10am – 4pm, Community Room
Participants will be provided with a glass
fronted box as a starting point to develop
a 3-D collage based on personal stories,
and use the Tullie collections to create a
magic object for inclusion in the finished
artwork. The piece can be as simple or
as complex as you wish to make it but
will result in a bespoke and unique object
that is specifically autobiographical. No
previous experience is required as Julian
will guide and support you through the
two day course.
Participants will have the opportunity to
create their own mediaeval inlaid encaustic
tile panel. Encaustic tiles are beautiful
examples of medieval craftsmanship,
and are decorated with patterns made
from different colours of clay rather than
glaze. Graham will also have a handling
collection of replica mediaeval pots and
will demonstrate throwing on a mediaeval
potter’s wheel - participants who don’t
mind getting clay coated can have a go
on the wheel themselves! Old clothing is
advised.

Pottering amongst the
seeds and cuttings at the
back of his ramshackle
greenhouse in the garden
of a Gloucestershire manor
house is Herbert Pinnegar.
In-between potting up and
potting on, he recounts his
journey from orphan boy
to legendary head gardener
‘Old Herbaceous’. Sown
with seeds of gardening
wisdom, this charming one
man show has attracted
rave reviews and is at heart
a love story – a humorous
portrayal of a singleminded yet gentle man
with a passion for plants.
We’ll be serving a delicious
selection of tapas from
5.30pm, at a special rate of
3 options for £10. The bar
opens from 5.30pm.
To tie in with our War
Games exhibition, this
illustrated talk from Dr Sean
Carter (Senior Lecturer
in Political Geography at
the University of Exeter)
will discuss some of the
histories of war play,
particularly in relation to
the Cold War. The talk will
also consider the extent to
which we can understand
contemporary geopolitical
events through the study of
toys. This part of the talk
will focus on the history
of ‘Action Man’ and on
the ‘Her Majesty’s Armed
Forces’ toy range, which
makes explicit references to
British military involvement
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Bar opens 6.45pm.

Award-winning adventurer John Pilkington
spent five months in 2013 exploring the
Balkan mountains. “I’d visited Yugoslavia
briefly in the 1970s,” he says. “Since
then they’ve abandoned communism,
suffered brutal conflicts and taken small
steps towards coming together with the
rest of Europe. In Bosnia and Kosovo I
found people still traumatised, but many
were working hard to create a peaceful
future.” Starting in Trieste, John also met
people in the remotest villages of Albania,
Macedonia and Bulgaria, before carrying
on to Turkey and finally the Bosporus.
His stunning photos and entertaining and
informative commentary make this a talk
not to be missed.

At the start of the twentieth century
Britain was unique among the great
European powers in possessing a
professional rather than a conscript army.
When the First World War broke out
in 1914, volunteers - some two and half
million of them - continued to fill the ranks
of the army before conscription was finally
deemed necessary in 1916. In exploring
some reasons for this phenomenon
Professor Ken Brown from Queen’s
University Belfast draws attention to
the contribution of the toy soldier craze
sweeping Britain in the two decades prior
to 1914. This talk ties in with our fantastic
War Games exhibition from the Victoria
and Albert Museum of Childhood.

Thursday 4 December, 8pm,

T h u r s day Talks
Back by popular demand following the
fantastic ‘50 years of Fashion’ in January,
the History Wardrobe team present a
new show for 2014 to mark the centenary
of the Great War. World War One had
a catastrophic impact on the lives of
millions, both on the battlefield and on
the Home Front too. It was also a time
of tremendous social upheaval, bringing
new opportunities and freedoms to many
women, all of which had a dramatic impact
on fashions. We bear witness to the lives
of women during the war by showcasing
their stories... and their clothes. Moving
and amusing, with many anecdotes and a
unique display of costumes and uniforms,
Women and the Great War is a must for
fashion history fans.

the technical skills of paring
down to essentials. A little
reading, some exercises,
feedback and networking.
It’s never been easier

costly pitfalls lie ahead if
you’re not careful. Alan
Cleaver will give you
an overview of how to
publish your own book –
whether entirely by hand,
through a printer or via
the internet and websites
such as Blurb or Lulu. And
during the workshop you
will hand-bind your own
booklet so you learn the
basic principles which apply
to all aspects of the book
