Well, it’s up! The message is revealed as ‘North York Moors’ and can be seen on the hillside at Greenbank off the Knott Road, although a better view can seen from Daleside Road (on the way to School Row and Hill Cottages). Or better still with a private helicopter!

Work by Yorkshire glassmakers Gillies Jones will be seen in a showcase celebrating the work of the UK’s leading craftmakers.
Rosedale glassmakers, Stephen Gillies and Kate Jones, are appearing in the exhibition at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, as alumni of the Crafted mentoring programme run by Walpole, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to further the interests of the British luxury industry. They are showing five large pieces of glass, each decorated with a landscape inspired by their surroundings in the North York Moors National Park.
The showcase, which runs from Thursday to Saturday, is free of charge to visit and open to all.
Ms Jones said: “We’re delighted to be selected as part of this prestigious showcase of contemporary craft, showing our work alongside 30 makers across the disciplines in a unique cultural organisation: a place where art is made, exhibited and debated.”
The Crafted programme was founded four years ago to
protect and promote traditional skills that are often forgotten
and overlooked in an era of digital design and mass production.

Gillies Jones warmly welcomes visitors to their studio this week 17th – 21st Feb 10am – 4pm

TREASURED TEXTILE EXHIBITION
SUNDAY AND MONDAY 25 – 26 AUGUST 2013
AT ROSEDALE EAST READING ROOM
Residents and those with Rosedale family connections are being invited to display both old and new hand-worked textiles to raise awareness of the importance of local craft skills and display family mementos and treasures. We are hoping to have two lovely days for the public to admire and be inspired by examples of textile/needlecraft articles old and new, and perhaps with a story to tell, which have either been made here in Rosedale or belong to Rosedale residents.
