SUNROOM is about providing a safe creative space for art making creative play and exploration for adults who identify with disability.

We believe in the social model of disability - that is, disability is the result of the interaction between people living with impairments and an environment filled with physical, attitudinal, communication and social barriers. (Sourced from PWD)

No prior art making experience is necessary, only a willingness to engage your imagination, curiosity and sense of play.

June Sunroom – Illuminated Initials

Enlarged initials found in medieval manuscript illumination are highly decorative, intricate explorations of the connection between image and text. In this workshop we will be using colour, stencil and hand-drawn illustration to design and generate our own "initial" and unique font. Emulate the delicate approach of medieval monks and scribes or take on a new, imaginative direction that is entirely your own!

This program is inspired by Writers Revealed: Treasures from The British Library and the National Portrait Gallery, London, now showing at HOTA Gallery.
