Over the past year throughout lockdowns, Creative
Scene’s BANK artists committed to being creative.
They came together over Zoom each week, to create a small piece of
art, explore new mediums and experiment with different techniques,
coupled with the freedom to be expressive and creative.
Curiosity is a celebration of that process.
The exhibition features kaleidoscopic mosaics and self-portraits
looking at fragmented identity, miniature clay sculptures and
textiles deconstructing family.
Visitors will be taken on a journey through changing perspectives,
connection, mental health and motherhood.
The artists featured are Abigail Barker, Andrew Warburton, Catherine
Horner, Ella Horner, Harriet Lawson, Karen Stansfield, Louisa Parry
and Pauline Leitch.
On Wednesday 23 March, join us from 6pm to raise of glass to our
artists and have a sneak peek of the exhibition.

Stansfield Workshop
Friday 8

In this two-hour creative workshop, join Karen Stansfield as she
guides you through how to use personal items from your everyday life
to tell stories and explore how they represent your experiences,
