The Art Club

Join our new monthly art & social club!

Our monthly art club will focus on using collage and mixed media techniques and ideas to experiment in a friendly and fun space.

Each month we will pick a theme and share inspiration with you in the run up to each session.

Get tickets to the in person workshops here.

If you can't make it along in person you can still get inspired with the theme and tag us in your creations on social media!

Curiosities

A Wunderkammer, also known as a cabinet of curiosities or cabinet of wonders, was a collection of unusual and intriguing objects from the Renaissance and early modern Europe. These collections were essentially precursors to museums, mixing natural history, art, and historical relics. They were not organised by strict scientific categories, but rather showcased a wide range of items that sparked wonder and curiosity.
