Kitchen Tables

Kitchen Tables returns with a new line-up of artists and makers, all exploring making at their kitchen tables.

A kitchen table is more than a dining space, it’s a place we gather, work and make – often messy, always busy, a site of creativity. Doubling up as a school desk and an artist studio, the kitchen table is also a place for mixing and folding spices and dough.

Our dining spaces might not even involve a table, with meals enjoyed on mats, trays, cushions or knees. Perhaps the table is so cluttered from daily life, we’re balancing food on books and magazines.

Kitchen Tables is a celebration of these spaces, through the eyes of artists and makers, inviting you to take a seat and explore the making that happens in our homes.

 


 

Workshops in this space are designed for people aged 12+. You will be able to sign up for a workshop slot over the weekend, with more information coming soon.
