Feeling bored?
Maybe you're overdue for a prescription. Five short questions, and we'll tell you what your hands might be asking for today.
The shop
Objects made a few metres from here
Ceramics, paintings and printed objects from the studio. Some pieces exist only once — those are asked about rather than added to a basket.
Children's lessons
Every child at the same table
Our children's programme is intentionally mixed. Children and teenagers with different needs work alongside their peers, with activities adapted to the person, not to a category.
