Soup in the City Poster
Please see attached the official ‘Soup in the City’ poster.
You can download this by clicking on the image so see it full-sized, and it will be in Adobe .pdf format. From here, you can save it.
From there, we’d encourage you to print it out as many times as you like, then post it wherever you think friends and associates who may be interested in coming will see it.
Thanks!
Allotment Soup is now ‘Soup in the City’!
As it is our 10th anniversary this year, we thought we’d do something a little different…
Rather than hold an event at an allotment site, we thought we’d celebrate urban growing right here in the city, so this year on October 1st from 11.00am ’til 5.00pm, we’ll be holding a special celebration right in the centre of Sunny Sheffield, centred around The Hub on Union Street, directly opposite Sheffield Council’s ‘Howden House’ building.
Here you’ll be able to meet all the gang, see a rooftop garden, enjoy freshly-made soup, and much, much more.
We look forward to seeing you all then!

Shelf Life Art Exhibition- Michael Borkowsky
Michael Borkowsky has contacted us about his forthcoming solo exhibition at the Gage Gallery (Part of Kelham Island Arts Co-Operative) in Sheffield, from 28/02/14 – 12/03/14.
‘Shelf Life’ explores the role of food in art. It seeks to re-imagine the genre of still life painting in order to make it relevant and accessible in the 21st Century – encouraging a questioning of what we perceive as holding value and highlighting how our experiences should not be dictated by vision. I also acknowledge how food and art are able to inform each other as they run parallel in our consumer culture.
A primary concern of mine is the practice of paint making – and the tension between the possibility of raw paint and the notion that meaning can be extracted from raw paint before it has been applied to a surface. My Paint Making Workshop will give participants the opportunity to create paints of their own – using food and egg yolk. I begin by discussing my work, before giving a working demonstration of the paint making process. After a refreshment break the participants will be able to create paints of their own and apply them to a surface.
