⛵🎨 One thing that made Alfred Wallis' work so distinctive and appealing was his use of unconventional materials. Working with boat or household paints, he would recycle pieces of cardboard, often from the local greengrocer, allowing the irregular shapes to dictate the composition and leaving areas bare to reveal the colour and texture of the cardboard. Occasionally, he would even paint onto everyday items such as this earthenware jug. #AlfredWallisRediscovered www.kettlesyard.co.uk/alfred-wallis-at-home

We are pleased to share the final instalment of our series 'Tangier Days', where we take a look at the years Jim and Helen Ede spent living in Tangier.
In Part 6, find out more about the influence Whitestone, the Ede's home in Morocco, had on Kettle's Yard. Traces of the Edes’ time in Morocco can be found in the Kettle's Yard House at almost every turn. Some objects came directly from Tangier and its surroundings; others were acquired through the numerous friendships and connections forged during those years.
