Wednesday 2 April

Immersive Workshop with Carmen Griffen. Join us for a creative workshop and discover the magic of paper as a wonderful art medium. Think sculpture, collage, and using all kinds of papers, from vintage patterns, tissue paper and more. Be inspired by everyday familiar objects that we all use, and the well-known tradition of sharing cuppas.


7 March  - 11 April

Voyage Through Time Exhibition by Carmen Griffen. The works are influenced by family, place and landscape. Artworks are personal reflections, exploring ways to find our journeys through life. Artworks are inspired by old family photo albums, and current discovery of finding ways to explore connections through objects and travel. Mediums: Acrylic on canvas, mixed media and paper.
