Here s something to raise a debate; who is the biggest ever Bradford district-born name? There have been so many huge names who were born in the district but here are five suggestions, but don t take it as the definitive list, I m sure many of you will disagree with my choices But instead of just criticising my list, let s get constructive and leave your suggestions in the comments section below. Here are suggestions of five of the biggest Bradford names:
CAPTAIN SIR TOM MOORE The Keighley-born World War Two veteran united the nation when he raised a record-breaking £33 million for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday at the start of the pandemic.
BRADFORD College are hosting a special event this Friday (July 2) to celebrate the creations of the 2021 BA (Hons) Fashion students at Bradford School of Art. After the show was cancelled due to Covid restrictions last year, some of last year s graduates will also get the chance to show off their work. Three shows (1pm, 6:30pm and 8pm) will run to allow more people to watch the portrayal of fashion. A professional model has also been hired to show off the garments. It provides a great opportunity for the students to have a professional fashion show before they enter the working world.
James Owen Thomas
After an early diagnosis of autism, James – who goes under the name J.O.T. – was eventually able to overcome problems of communication with the help of pictures.
Now through his own artwork, J.O.T. highlights the damaging effects of single-use products on the environment, by turning the waste discarded by others into his medium for expression.
His interest in the use of recycled materials began after noticing how disheartened customers were discarding their used and unsuccessful scratch-cards without a care for the environment they littered.
J.O.T. found a way to repurpose them by sorting, tearing, cutting and separating patterns and symbols to develop his unique colour palette for his artwork.
STAFF and students at Bradford School of Art have been making crucial hospital supplies for patients at a hospital in Gambia where babies are sent home in newspaper. Those involved with the BA (Hons) Fashion degree programme have been producing hospital gowns, re-usable sanitary products and toiletry bags to be sent to the West African country. The school is using bedding, cotton sheets and lengths of fabric to create the items. The project came about after degree Programme Leader, Angela Loftus, discovered that the hospital in Gambia is continually struggling to provide even the most basic of items for patients.
