At the heart of this is a simple intention: to make spaces like these more available and inclusive. We believe that affordable, collaborative places to create and share are essential to a thriving cultural life and The Studios is one step toward building that future together.

3/

We’re developing an environment where artists, makers, and creative organisations can share space, ideas, and resources. The studios, co-working areas, and social spaces will evolve through collaboration, guided by the needs and ambitions of those who use them.

Huge gratitude to our volunteer steward team, many of whom volunteered on the night, including those from CH — and an extra special thank you to Dot for coordinating everything. You all helped make the night magical ✨

A huge thank you to artists Lois Muddiman and Miranda Miller (@emotionalclay) for leading the main workshops making the willow and paper creations, across two weekends to ensure we could have nature-based creations for over 100 adults and children!

We headed towards @ovadagallery.bsky.social where we stopped off to let everyone enjoy their Diwali decorations for another night. Those who wanted a longer walk continued on to Faulkner St & Friar's Wharf before heading back to OVADA for #WellTogether funded healthy hot food & drinks.

Led by Filipino artist Bethenie Carriaga's beautiful willow dragonfly, decorated by two participants on the evening itself, we walked along the river and through St Thomas' including Christchurch Old Buildings, one remaining example of social housing from 1866

4/

At 5pm we set off, lighting up the streets on our walk through St Thomas and St Ebbe's, the same streets depicted in the pop up working class people's history exhibition that's been in 15 Park End Street's windows these past weeks.

3/

Thank you to everyone who joined us, participated and helped others to participate — the creativity, warmth and hot drinks kept the space a flurry of activity all afternoon!
