This Mortal Life Creative Workshops - This Mortal Life Craft & Chat at Weston Artspace I’m thrilled to announce this new monthly, evening drop in session for those who enjoy creative prompts and conversation. Bring your own project to work on at our Craft & Chat or take part in a collaborative community art project for the Good Grief Festival exhibition in October, entitled ‘52 Meditations on Mortality’. Through the summer we’ll be transforming a full deck of playing cards through art, reflection, and conversation. Each session will include optional memento mori themed prompts to inspire your creativity and designs. Use whatever creative medium you enjoy: painting, collage, embroidery, drawing, mixed media, poetry or something entirely your own. A selection of various supplies, collage magazines, scissors and paint pens will be available for everyone to use, but please bring your own preferred materials if you wish. No artistic experience needed. Just come make things alongside other people. Drop in 6-9pm on the second Thursday of the month starting Thursday 11th June at Weston Artspace at The Quarry. Free to Artspace members, pay what you decide for non-members (cash and digital payments accepted). No signup required, just turn up! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688d37118a06c667d1dcd225/1779889147519-ZFBPRCVTXW4B8F28HL71/IMG_20260515_214652472+%281%29.jpg Blog - This Mortal Life
