Crafting in the Old Diorama

Summer Crafternoon🧶🎨☕️🍰

Interactive Performance/Workshop with Ali Katmiri

The workshop invites visitors to take up the practice for themselves. Working in silence with colour and canvas, each person becomes both the artist and the audience of their own work. Nothing needs to be got right and no experience is needed. The point is to find out what happens when feeling passes straight into colour, without stopping to explain itself. Your creation will then be displayed as part of the artists solo show at the London Art Bar!

For people who look to catch up on some chill craft time, with maybe a glass of sth sth. If you don’t have anything on hand - I will always have some adult colouring books around, crochet and knitting tools, and some savage level origami. No experience required :)

REGISTER INTEREST: ZINE MAKING with LESS STRESS PRESS: cultivate creativity

**Join our [MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/59860c6d0d), if you'd like to receive invitations to future events (some of which will be hosted off of meetup).** What is a Zine and why should I make one? Zines are handmade booklets. They can be used to share information, ideas, stories, art (etc.). Zine making creates opportunities to: * spend time exploring ideas * hone in on something you love or care about: a cause, a message, a skill, a place (the possibilities are endless) * get creative with collage, drawing, writing, printmaking (etc.) * produce compelling and unique booklets that you can print cheaply and share with friends and strangers offline After lots of creative brainstorming of their own, Bonny and Ellie have landed on zine making as the perfect way to both open up space for playful, low stakes creativity, and focus their minds on bite sized projects. **Join our [MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/59860c6d0d), if you'd like to receive invitations to future events (some of which will be hosted off of meetup).**
