OUR HISTORY

Bradford College is celebrating a 185 years of delivering quality education and training to the City of Bradford and its people.

The founding of the College came about with the opening of Bradford’s Mechanics Institute in 1832 and was in direct response to a need for the city’s workers to have cutting edge skills relevant to the workplace and, in particular, the local textile industry. The origins of the Faculty of Bradford School of Art & The Northern School of Creative Industries can be found with the opening of the School of Industrial Design and Art in 1863.

On June 23, 1882, the Prince and Princess of Wales (at the time,King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) opened a new Technical School: Art, textiles, engineering, construction, science, child welfare, teacher training, commercial enterprise and business were all part of the curriculum….these were the early influences that evolved into the highly relevant and responsive College of today.

The Department of Art became a separate College of Art in 1904, and settled in the Mannville New Connection Chapel on Great Horton Road and in 1911 Lord Rotherham opened Lister Building on Carlton Street which is now home to the Faculty of Bradford School of Art & The Northern School of Creative Industries. In September 1973, the Technical College and the Regional College of Art re-united to form a new college, the Bradford College of Art and Technology in which the Bradford College of today has its roots.

The gallery retains the charm of its origins as a dye house making it an outstanding venue for art, performances, events, presentations and conferences.

Exhibitors include current students, alumni, academic members of staff and internationally known artists and photographers. We have had the privilege of displaying the work of Joy Gregory, one of the most important artists to emerge from the Black British photography movement of the 1980s to Tim Rudman, internationally respected photographer displaying work from his collection ‘Iceland, An Uneasy Calm’.

The Dye House Gallery is currently sponsored by leading greetings card publisher Hallmark Cards.

BRADFORD COLLEGE TEXTILE ARCHIVE

Our cultural heritage study centre.

All Higher Education students with the Bradford School of Art and the Northern School of Creative Industries are given opportunities to access the collections within the Textile Archive to inform both creative practice and contextual studies projects.

You can take inspiration from the designs created and woven by textile students towards the end of the 19th century, and discover the technical processes involved to create fabrics to a professional standard from the beautifully presented student workbooks.

The pattern books from the industry collections offer a glimpse into the fashions of the past: the tiny calico prints of the 1780s; the large-scale bright designs of the 1850s crinoline fabrics; the new colours made possible through development of the synthetic dye industry in the 19th century; the beautiful figured gauze fabrics of 1900, the development of synthetic fabrics in the early 20th century and the kitsch designs of the 1950s.

Our special collections include both the 1860s and 1870s series of The Textile Manufacture of India, French trends services Les Tissus dating from 1882, Bilbille dating from 1910 and The Americas Collection of the 1940s and 1950s in addition to industry journals: The Wool Record and The Textile Manufacturer from 1878.

Alumni profile. Neil Bedford.BA (Hons) FashionI enrolled at Bradford College in 2003 and there’s not a day go by that I’m not grateful for the time I spent there. I had been turned away by two other colleges in West Yorkshire prior to applying to Bradford and I’m lucky enough to have had the trust and vision of the tutors at the time to allow me to study on the Fashion and Textiles course. Without being accepted that day I’m not sure I would be working within the creative industry today as I was close to giving up.

During my time there we were given great industry opportunities and encouraged to participate in different events and challenges with one resulting in me being highly commended by M&S.

The assignments were always set in a way that we could really push ourselves creatively and allow complete freedom of expression in your work. I eventually went on to graduate with a distinction, which remains a very proud moment for me.

I then moved to London, where I changed my career path slightly to become a photographer and have since gone on to work with all kinds of clients in fashion, sport, music and advertising.

Without learning about the fashion industry in Bradford and being allowed to express my creativity, I would have not been able to achieve. The seed is always the most important part of the tree and I’m fully grateful that mine was allowed to be planted at Bradford College.

BA (Hons) Textiles and Surface Design.

I enrolled at Bradford School of Art as a mature student, having already studied for a degree in Physical Geography and worked in nature conservation.

I needed to study part time as I had small children, so the structure of the course attracted me, along with the studio and workshop facilities and relatively select cohort sizes.

The course included a range of different textiles disciplines, which suited my interest in different techniques. I also negotiated time in the printmaking department, which allowed me to expand my skills even further.

The final year meant writing our own project brief, which allowed me to take my work in a fine art textiles direction.

At New Designers I was selected for the graduate showcase at the Festival of Quilts, an opportunity that then led on to all sorts of other exhibition and teaching opportunities.

Since graduating in 2011 I have worked full-time on a freelance basis, building up a portfolio of residencies, Arts Council funded projects, teaching experience and self-led solo exhibitions. I have self-published 6 books about exhibition projects I have undertaken and written a book for a major craft publisher. I have exhibited and taught nationally and internationally and I’m a member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and the Textile Study Group.

Interview with Tom Aldersley.

Q. When did you know you wantedto start a career in the Performing Arts?

A. Some people say “I have always wanted to bean actor, darling!” I didn’t however. I initially wanted to work for the Forestry Commission! I have always enjoyed performing - but honestly, it wasn’t something I had considered as a viable career option. There aren’t many working-class Yorkshire actors, there’s only Mark Addy and Sean Bean -that’s not a lot of them. I was told by my parents I was allowed one year of college, so essentially, I thought I’m just going to make the most of it.

My college persuaded me to stay on for a second year, and then I fell in love with doing it. I started to realise there was a path into the industry for me. Students come here and I can see that they have so much potential.

In my youth, there wasn’t an actor on TV who looked or sounded like me. Patrick Stewart doesn’t sound like he’s from Huddersfield!

I want people from the community to have aspirations. I want to give them all the tools they need to be professional working actors, generate work, showcase their work and get work.

Tom Aldersley is the programme leader for The Northern School of Creative Industries Performing Arts courses.

This covers the Acting, Musical Theatre and Technical Arts pathways. Tom has previously had roles in Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Hollyoaks and his latest acting role ‘In the Dark’, is a four-part drama by BAFTA-winning writer Danny Brocklehurst.

There’s a great deal of satisfaction in seeing your graduate’s work. I’ve seen my graduates go from shy first years to working regularly on television, or I’ve gone to visit them because they’re on the West End!

Q. Do you have an academicspecialism?

A. My academic specialism is naturalisticacting, specifically on camera. Konstantin Stanislavski, Uta Hagen, Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler to name a few, those Russian-American practitioners. Naturalistic acting is my specialism, but I will introduce students to other practitioners who work in different ways – promenade theatre and experiential theatre.

On the course, I can relay my industry experience. How long does it take to film? How do you manage your time? How do you film out of sequence? How do you film the end first? And not do the beginning until the end? Part of my specialism is giving access to that process so they can work out of sequence.

Q. How does yourexperience as an actor inform your teaching?

A. Though an academic, I’m still acting, andauditioning! My experience of auditioning to a diverse range of people for projects is something I’m sharing with the students.I once auditioned for a programme called ‘Eric and Ernie’, which was about the early lives of Morecambe and Wise.

The role I auditioned for was to play a fishmonger. Now, I’m actually allergic to fish! I was very nervous about this audition. One of my questions to the panel would have to be “Do I have to handle fish?!”.

The audition panel was Victoria Wood, Vic Reeves and the head of BBC drama. After the audition, and as far as I was concerned, it had all gone really badly. I got down to the car park when one of the runners came and found me. I thought they wanted to assault me because of how offensive my audition was! But actually, it was to take me back

80


upstairs to audition for a different part, a more substantial part – a better part! I was the man who gave Ernie Wise his first opportunity on stage at a working man’s club in Beeston, Leeds. The production was shot on location at Salford Lad’s club and it was lovely. We filmed for a week with Victoria Wood, Reece Shearsmith and Vic Reeves.

Q. What is your greatestachievement so far?

A. The fact I’m still a practitioner and peoplewant to work with me is my greatest achievement. As an actor, you can have really big highs and really big lows. My life has a greater context, if I don’t get an acting job, I’m just as happy as when I do. Developing this greater context gives practitioners survivability within the industry.

There’s a documentary now on Netflix, called Grizzly Man. It’s about a guy called Timothy Treadwell, who went to live with bears in Alaska. What triggered this is, they were down to the last two for the part of Woody on Cheers, famously

Woody Harrelson got the role, Timothy Treadwell didn’t – he ended up living with bears and being eaten by them. So, my greatest achievement is – I haven’t been eaten by bears!

I tell students to diversify and produce their own work, start their own company, have other interests around the arts! Filmmaking, documentary making, podcasts, radio – it’s important not to put your eggs all in one basket. I’m encouraging graduates to set up a creative co-operative, be self-sustaining and not be eaten by bears!
