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.
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!
We will share themes right here and on social media (visit Pinterest board) so make sure to keep checking back each month or follow us on Instagram @artistsclubhouse or FB @weareartistsclubhouse.

Januarys theme is:
Your Colour of the Year
Each year Pantone selects a colour of the year, for 2026 they selected Cloud Dancer: so very slightly off white. People on the internet are in disbelief of the tone deaf choice, given what’s going on in the world! So we have decided that we will choose our own colours to represent 2026, and attempt to challenge ourselves throughout the year to bring them in to our lives!
Why not also give them a quirky, unique or punchy name!

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.
