How often do you find yourself consciously examining the items you place into the bin, pondering how to use them to make something new?
Not often is the general response; but what if you did?
The materials used during our sessions are considered to be at the end of their useful lives. The premise of this project is to give one last lease of life to these items, allowing them to leave an impactful mark.
Once your perspective is shifted, the possibilities are endless.
Booking includes use of all materials. Each month we will have a general theme or project but, you are welcome to use any materials to create anything that you’re inspired to make.
This is a very free flowing, laid back club and we welcome ideas and creative tangents.
All of our materials for this club are found, donated or bought second hand. All donations gratefully welcomed
We run three sessions a day 10am -12noon / 1pm – 3pm / 4pm-6pm
Booking online or in store

I am a Swindon-based, Autistic photographer, specialising in music photography, with an additional interest in photographing the abstract and absurd found in the world around us. This exhibition showcases how I see the world away from music venues, with a different take on the everyday.

Join us in welcoming our good friend @freeman_uk to the gallery wall. We’re absolutely ecstatic To be hosting his show, it’s not one you wanna miss…
Showing until Saturday 18th November
Freeman is a Brighton based artist that crosses the boundary between urban and contemporary art producing work that not only captures the essence of the object but brings it to prominence through his use of brash colour and fierce brush strokes. Not limited by the stillness of an object through his cubist approach he manages to insert an energy and vibrance into the mundane. Launching himself as a full time artist in 2013, and with a series of solo shows behind him, his work can now be found in private collections and is exhibited and represented by galleries across the UK, Germany and the U.S.

“Reawakening” is a revisit to our first ever exhibit back in 2020. It provided a platform to all and offered new, bright connections. The result was truly humbling to us.
This time around, Reawakening is building on that wave of love that we’ve all been riding the last three years. It’s where we’ve all been and what the future holds.

SLART BIO
SLART (Steven Light) is a figurative expressionist artist working and living in Swindon, UK. Steven was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent but moved to Marlborough in Wiltshire as a young child. He discovered that he was adopted by his grandparents, which set him on a journey of introspection and connecting with his biological father and siblings. He spent a decade living in London, which was a contrast to his small-town upbringing, instilling new perspectives and life experiences in his mindset.
He has always loved drawing since early childhood, a shy and sensitive soul, he would spend many hours alone, drawing images from cartoons and animal books. He is drawn to creating people-centric art because he loves the diversity of people, their stories, problems, issues, baggage, quirks, and personalities.
SLART is also a muralist and has painted multiple outdoor pieces in his town. He’s produced a sizable body of work since moving to an art studio in 2021 and has been part of group exhibitions in the UK and Germany as well as two well-received UK solo exhibits. One of the solo exhibitions, Fistula, documented his journey in living with chronic kidney failure.
SLART ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a self-taught figurative expressionist. Through my art, I reveal and disarm human issues. I intertwine Memento Mori, spiritual themes and heavy influences from the 1980s and 1990s pop culture I grew up in, including music, video games, WWF wrestling, basketball, action movie stars and cartoons from that era.
My primary mediums are oils or acrylic on large canvases and outdoor spaces to make a big impact. I often use reference photos as inspiration, but I aim to create my own representation rather than a carbon copy. I paint freely with a rough concept in my mind, allowing it to unfold as I work.
Drawn to a complimentary colour palette, much of my work naturally employs bright or pastel colours on dark backgrounds creating bold statements. Being self-taught allows me to express myself without any preconceived concepts taken from formal art education.
Jean Dubuffet, David Shrigley and Keith Haring are my top three influences. Dubuffet taught me to play by my own rules, that formal art education is not needed and that it’s never too late to start. Shrigley endowed me with humour, authenticity and the confidence to stick to my own style. Haring ignited my love for street art, painting large murals and making art accessible.
