A weekly open studio at Poplar Union exploring photography, collage, embroidery, illustration and oral history, open to all. Sessions respond to everyday stories, food, place and personal experience, moving between indoor making and gentle explorations of the local area such as the canal, markets and community gardens. They are informal and process-led, with materials provided and no experience needed, though aimed at those aged 18 and over. Visitors can join quietly, experiment, share ideas or simply make alongside others.
