Join artist Bhavin Bhadresa for a hands-on creative workshop where you will design bold, expressive artworks on wooden tiles using typography and drawing. Using stencils, markers, and vibrant materials, you’ll explore how words and imagery shape identity, culture, and heritage.

Each tile becomes part of a shared collection of voices and stories, highlighting the connections between language, personal experience, and community. The tiles will come together as a collaborative mural or be taken home, with a digital version capturing the full collection.

No experience needed – just bring your creativity! Suitable for all ages.

Tickets available from 17 April 2025.
