One of two new panels by Jann Haworth and Liberty Blake from their ongoing Work in Progress, which were commissioned for the 2025 arts and culture programme of the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos. They depict WEF cultural leaders past and present Liberty Blake and Jann Haworth, Courtesy of the artists The acclaimed US-born Pop artist Jann Haworth sees Work in Progress—the mural project she has been working on since 2016 with her artist daughter Liberty Blake—as a reckoning for the lack of women in Haworth’s best-known piece, the legendary cover of the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967, co-created with her then husband Peter Blake and the photographer Michael Cooper). It is also, she told The Art Newspaper in 2023, a statement for the under-representation of women in general. Jann Hanworth was born in 1942 in Los Feliz, Los Angeles Fowler also focuses on the importance and value of the community base of Haworth and Blake’s project. The images of women have been created through a stencilling process involving more than 250 other women over the past nine years, many of them amateur artists, with Blake working on the collages and Haworth overseeing the training and output of the community artists. More than 60 years after Haworth broke on to the London art scene with her work in 4 Young Artists at the Institute of Contemporary Art, in 1963—including full-figure soft sculptures—she continues to champion women artists and to experiment with formats. One new project is a fantastical graphic-novel reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s Alice through the Looking Glass, which she calls a “folly”, but something she felt compelled to write. Here, Alice is a 60-year-old man, and the story is set in Santa Monica and ends up on Pacific Ocean Park Pier, with guest appearances from the film director Alfred Hitchcock and the actor Robert Mitchum. The other is a graphic-memoir dissection of the Hollywood of her 1940s childhood, when her Academy Award-winning art director father, Ted Haworth, often took her to watch filming. She is devising it with Stephen Dark, a writer with an encyclopaedic knowledge of film noir, and hopes to dissect the lives of larger than life Hollywood characters. “I met these crazy people,” Haworth says. I mean, I met Marilyn [Monroe] and I met [Marlon] Brando and I was friends with Tony Curtis and Lili St Cyr, who was in The Naked and the Dead. I mean, these kind of strange, wonderful people, Kim Novak… And the arc of their life is something that I could see.” The second panel by Jann Haworth and Liberty Blake from their ongoing Work in Progress who co-created the classic image with Peter Blake revealed the surprising choice on our podcast Haworth Tompkins has been granted planning permission for a seven-building residential and co-housing scheme in Wembley The development will include six new residential buildings providing 464 homes (88 affordable) and 421 co-living units ranging in height from two to 29 storeys standalone community centre on a 1.14ha brownfield site in Atlip Road near Alperton tube station Designed for landowner Atlip House Limited, the Stirling Prize-winner’s scheme will involve the demolition of all existing buildings a multi-purpose building comprising retail outlets to make way for the ‘comprehensive redevelopment’ of the site It will be centred around a new public square and will feature landscaping and public realm improvements throughout including a new pedestrian route from Alperton Station to Atlip Road The development will provide a total of 237m² of commercial floorspace Brent Council’s planning committee voted unanimously to approve the scheme on Wednesday APPROVED: Haworth Tompkins plans for Atlip Road in Wembley More than 140 people had signed an online petition opposing the scale of the plans insisting that the high-rise buildings would be overbearing causing ‘severe’ loss of light and overshadowing increasing traffic congestion and putting 'excessive strain' on existing infrastructure But Brent planning officers said the proposal would ‘make efficient use of previously developed land in a highly sustainable location’ and ‘contribute significantly to borough housing needs’ delivering affordable housing in line with national and local planning policy Officers concluded that the proposed scale and massing of the buildings would respond well to the site context in a designated tall building zone within an identified growth area where tall buildings of a comparable scale already feature close by They added: ‘Adverse amenity effects on daylight and sunlight conditions to some existing nearby sensitive receptors […] are to be expected with development proposed at scale which seeks to make most efficient use of land.’ Brent Council had identified the site for development in its 2021 Local Plan as part of its wider regeneration of the Alperton Growth Area where a number of residential-led redevelopment schemes have already completed or are under construction A former bus garage opposite the site is currently being developed as a mixed-use residential-led development including buildings of up to 28 storeys APPROVED: Haworth Tompkins plans for Atlip Road in Wembley - site aerial view Haworth Tompkins said the proposal was an opportunity to significantly improve an ‘underutilised’ brownfield site improving existing routes and addressing issues including insecure site boundaries The practice added: ‘Our approach from the beginning of the project has been driven by a desire to balance strong placemaking and delivery of homes with a viable scale which mediates between the lower-rise Metroland development along Sunleigh Road and the emerging tall building cluster formed by Minavil House and the Bus Depot site.’ Haworth

brother-sister duo Kirk and Keeley Haworth is the first ever plant-based restaurant in the UK to receive a Michelin star in the 2025 Michelin Awards Ceremony Having opened just seven months ago in July 2024 Plates has quickly established itself as a leader in plant-based cooking and has welcomed unprecedented demand following opening The restaurant’s innovative approach is threaded throughout showcasing its  devotion to both food and nature a focus on incredible produce lies at the heart of the restaurant with Kirk working closely with every element he puts on a plate transforming and delving deeper into the potential of every ingredient The menu is both innovative and comforting organic produce and working in collaboration with local and trusted suppliers giving credibility to the plant-focussed sphere something Kirk was celebrated for with his victory as the “Champion of Champions” on BBC’s Great British Menu last year Plates’ aim is to change the perception of how fruits Kirk has striven to challenge the norms of traditional fine gastronomy placing plant-based dining at the highest level The restaurant offers diners seven or eight course tasting menus with dishes including barbecued Maitake mushroom aioli & puffed rice; caramelised Lion’s Mane cauliflower cream & black truffle jus; and raw cacao gateau fans of Great British Menu have also been able to try some of Kirk’s top scoring dishes a dish awarded a perfect score in the competition and which was described by chef Tom Kerridge as “just phenomenal cooking’’ The 25-cover dining room and 20-cover private dining space and development kitchen are enveloped in textural earthy tones with low light; the use of pigments and colours that celebrate nature can be seen throughout The bar around the open kitchen is hand-crafted from felled London trees a chance to dine at the chef’s counter and be at the heart of the action to the plants to which we owe  delicacy of flavour The next chapter for Plates takes the form of Plates Farm and Retreat in the heart of the southwestern French countryside and which opens its doors in May 2025 Kirk says “Earning a Michelin star is such an incredible honour and a lifetime goal since I was a young boy To be the first in the plant-based sphere in the UK to win this prestigious award makes me unbelievably proud and I am so grateful to our talented team for their support and dedication.” Keeley adds “At Plates we’ve always believed in pushing boundaries and this achievement proves that plant-based dining can stand proudly at the highest level of gastronomy.” CLH News

I sit down to chat with Kirk Haworth named the best new chef in the UK's Top New Restaurant Awards I know he has a reputation as gentle and grounded – descriptions rarely afforded to chefs of his calibre As chef-proprietor of Plates in London’s Shoreditch he was the first plant-based chef to compete on the BBC's Great British Menu was declared the best dish in the competition Haworth and his sister Keeley opened Plates in Shoreditch a few weeks later East London interiors company Design & That oversaw the earthy interiors at Plates in Shoreditch winner of the best new chef in the UK's Top New Restaurant Awards Plates has already made huge waves on the British restaurant scene, winning a Michelin star less than a year after opening and making history yet again – this is the first-ever vegan restaurant in the UK to be acknowledged by the guide moving towards a strictly vegan diet was a lifestyle change that saved his career and cooking plant-based dishes is never about compromise “I can make a sauce that is as rich as a meat sauce or even richer,” he insists Still, as we chat, he practically baulks at the mere mention of the word vegan “Plates was never about trends,” he explains but we’ve always said that this is about flavour and a concept that doesn’t need to be labelled as vegan It’s about letting the food do the talking.” I’m just trying to open a window and let people come and have a look at an alternative.” The tasting menu at Plates is wholly plant-based Haworth's enthusiasm for plant-based offerings came about after a youth spent as “a very driven young man working in Michelin star restaurants.” “I would sacrifice everything to be the best and eat chicken wings at 2am on the way home after a very long day,” he remembers “I‘d go to sleep for four hours and then go back at it after living with pain that was “so bad I was on opioids for seven years,” Haworth finally got diagnosed with Lyme Disease “I could research what was wrong instead of dealing with all this internal pain on my own It meant I wasn’t just pretending I was always okay.” He talks passionately about how “we work long hours [as chefs] putting our passion and energy and everything into food and then we send it out to people we don’t even know but we don’t look after our bodies properly I decided to reverse that and figured if I could manoeuvre my passion for cooking for people in restaurants onto myself then I had a fighting chance to feel better.” “We don’t need to disrespect people – I’d rather not have any accolades if it means being like that” Though he credits a huge part of his recovery and subsequent success he sees the way we eat as just one part of our lives “I’ve never said that food cured me because I did a lot of work with naturopaths and therapists," Haworth says and my full-time job became getting better.” The regularly changing menu might include seasonal dishes such as wild garlic soup with ricotta or slow-cooked leeks with chestnut cream Haworth made history when his vegan pudding was declared ‘best dish’ on the 2024 edition of Great British Menu But Haworth's passion for plant-based cooking shines through when he talks about how his life has transformed I’m on no medication and running a restaurant “I'm passionate about creating a more balanced landscape both in the restaurant and in my kitchen” Family is obviously very important to Haworth was chef-patron of Northcote Manor and the younger Haworth started washing dishes in the restaurant at 13 it felt like an upgrade because it was way better than washing scrambled egg off the bottom of a pan!” He describes his sister as “Amazing and we just wanted to create a business that aims to be the best.” This ethos of support and kindness spreads into his own work kitchen He is keen to nurture a “balanced and thoughtful working environment; kitchens are notoriously tough places and it’s my duty to let people know that we can achieve a standard without being horrible I’d rather not have any accolades if it means being like that.” Plates in East London is the first UK vegan restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star The result is Plates: a space that Haworth clearly adores with culinary creations that not only satiate the taste buds but are good for our planet and bodies That has never been more relevant than it is now Haworth is an unassuming figurehead of vegan dining who never sought to create waves that way “I'm passionate about creating a more balanced landscape both in the restaurant and in my kitchen,” he shrugs Despite acknowledging being “thrilled” to receive this award and wanting to spend 2025 “slowing down slightly and being appreciative of where we’re at,” Haworth's next few months include opening rooms at his Shoreditch flagship and overseeing a food festival meets retreat this summer in France – so I must admit Kirk Haworth is the best new chef in the UK's Top New Restaurant Awards – read about more of the winners including the 21 best

astrophotographer Paul Haworth shortlisted in Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2024 you'll often find photographer Paul Haworth heading out to capture some of the region's distinctive landscapes from pebble beaches to tidal mudflats – with the vast night sky as a glittering backdrop what he loves most about a night spent under the stars and the advice he would give to someone keen to get started in astronomy photography Shortlisted in the Skyscapes category Buy a print of this image I’ve been interested in the night sky since I was around 11 but for most of my life I simply observed with telescopes It was during Comet NEOWISE’s visit to the inner solar system during the 2020 lockdown that I tried astrophotography for the first time capturing an image of the comet reflected in a nearby lake.  I loved the photograph (as technically terrible as it was!) and thought I’d invented a whole genre only to discover that nightscape photography was a vibrant Unlike a lot of people coming into the hobby I’d never previously used a camera for anything other than holiday snaps I was completely new to photography as a whole There are many excellent channels on YouTube to get you off the mark. Two particular influences for me were Richard Tatti and the late Alyn Wallace – I’ve learned so much from both of them. Beyond that it’s been trial and a lot of error Sharing work and asking for constructive feedback has also been helpful – it’s painful at times but ultimately helps you to learn I’m always scouring Google Earth and maps for interesting-looking locations ideally away from the worst of the light pollution that a lot of the UK is blighted with Once I find something that looks interesting I’ll scour the internet for more information and daytime images to work out if it’s worth visiting.  If I’m reasonably confident there’s an image to be had I’ll work out what sort of nighttime image I want to make (e.g moonlight and often the tide conditions to narrow down the right night to go I love coastal and mountainous locations – anything that creates the experience of being out in the wild under the night sky But I live on the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens so we have no hills to speak of – but I’ve also found a beauty in the unique landscape of the Fens and the huge skies we have in this part of the world The magical sounds seem amplified in the darkness while the thick dew-filled earthy air fills and cools my lungs. And above my head the familiar constellations continue their nightly march across the sky stretching infinitely from horizon to horizon To be able to capture images and video as well simply enables me to share that experience.  I’d first visited the location at night about four months earlier and it definitely had potential – reasonably dark remote enough that it was free of other people after dark I knew I wanted to make an extended star trails image but it wasn’t until I’d arrived that night that I saw the wonderful curve of the drainage channel in the mud that seemed to mirror the arc that the star trails would make in the sky So I had a reasonably good feeling about the image when I set it up and all I would need was a night that was free from cloud Chuffed to bits. It was exactly what I had in mind when I shot it and from a technical point of view everything came together as I’d hoped (by no means a given in nightscape photography!).  The image transported me back to the long night under the stars with the constant accompanying sounds of the birdlife out on the mudflats. It immediately became one of my favourite images I entered the competition in the same way that I’d enter the lottery – not expecting anything from it but enjoying being part of something fun.  I’m always blown away by the technical standard and level of creativity in the competition so to have been shortlisted with others whose work I greatly admire was a real privilege The experience of being out in the landscape at night under the stars is hard to beat and you’ll quickly find it quite addictive.  It’s possible to get some great results with relatively modest equipment and YouTube has so many outstanding channels from which you can learn almost the entire craft for nothing but an investment of time.  Make images that you enjoy making and looking at Want to keep up with Paul?
