Millennium Bridge Framed Ceramic Tile is one of many of Emily Ward’s stunning pieces of North East art.
In Emily’s painting, the Bridge appears as though it is floating on the river itself, surrounded by gorgeous bright flowers. This piece of North East art is definitely a great centrepiece for any room of the house.
Emily has several paintings of Quayside landmarks on her website, including the Millennium Bridge, the Tyne Bridge, The Baltic and others. The Millennium Bridge gift range can be found HERE.
About the Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Bridge
is the world’s first and only tilting bridge and it is at the end of a line of distinguished bridges across the River Tyne. It is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne on the south bank of the Quayside.
In 1996 Gateshead Council launched a competition to find a bridge to link developments on both sides of the River Tyne. After over 150 entries, Gateshead residents voted for their favourite and chose the Millennium Bridge. Since then there has been massive worldwide interest in the bridge and it acts as a symbol of Gateshead’s renaissance.
It links Newcastle to Gateshead as a functional purpose of the River Tyne’s only foot and cycle bridge but also as a tourist attraction. The appearance of the bridge while opening has led to the nickname of the ‘Blinking Eye Bridge’.
Ceramic Framed Tile
Each Framed Tile is hand finished by North East Artist Emily Ward. So although your ceramic framed tile is actually a print, no two tiles are identical. Emily hand finishes the tiles by adding extra paint to the ceramic tile.
The framed tile appears as if it is floating inside the frame.
Frames are available in White and Black Frames.
Each frame is 27 x 27 x 5cm
Colours may vary as each tile is printed individually.
