BLACK CHALK WINE ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

Black Chalk’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that winemaking is a delicate blend of science and artistry – thats why they named their award winning wine after the charcoal or black chalk artists use to sketch their outlines. To celebrate all things beautifully crafted, at each The Other Art Fair edition, Black Chalk wine welcome an artist to create a mural inspired by the ethos of their Hampshire Valley Vineyard on the walls of our East London fair. Meet the Black Chalk Wine Artist in Residence alumni below.
