No expectations, no instructions to follow, but I've got lots of ideas and techniques to share. You may come home with a beautiful piece of art. You could leave with a new skill to take to your own practice. You might get unblocked from your arty-stuckness, or perhaps try something creative for the first time since school. Whoever you are, i’ve a spot round the table for you.

April 25th Mini Mannequins
Fabrics, beads, wire, petals, sparkles, tapes - a table full of materials to play with and a creative atmosphere in an art room full of inspiration. Build your avatar, invent a fashion statement, create a fantastical character, dream up your nemesis or a bring to life your spirit guide - all through the medium of arty playfulness!
May 23rd ~ Anni Albers inspired jewellery
Washers, nuts and bolts, paperclips, hairpins and other interesting playthings plus ribbons, ropes and wires- a table full of bits and pieces and the time to explore in a creative atmosphere. Tiaras from self-tapping screws or knuckledusters made of penny washers, I can’t wait to create with you!
June 20th ~ Playing with plaster
Make a mould, cast using clay and unusual objects, create natural reliefs to paint, fill voids and explore the spaces inside objects - messy and beautiful explorations! A great chance to play with an unusual material, perhaps sparking a whole new creative rabbit hole to go down…
