Meet Nastaran Tavakoli, our Family Saturday workshop host!

For Nastaran, art isn’t just about creating objects, it’s about connecting with people, sharing stories, and inspiring the next generation.

Come along to our next Family Saturday for a hands-on workshop inspired by Roo Dhissou’s ‘Heal, Home, Hmmm’, where we will make a collaborative shelter using recycled materials.

Saturday 6 June, 11-3pm
Free and open to all ages.
