JUMBLE: What makes a space feel like it’s yours? Is it a familiar texture, a distinctive sound, or the people that hang out there? What do your community spaces look and feel like, and how can we reimagine, celebrate or protect them?

In this clay-based workshop, join artist Ellie Spink to investigate the everyday textures and objects that make up the places we spend time together, and begin to imagine what our perfect community space could look like.
