Spend the evening exploring your creative side with like-minded people in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Hosted by creative Naomi Hutton, each of our Get Together & Create evenings focuses on a different artistic technique or craft. Naomi will be on hand to teach you new techniques, help you out and share her expert tips. 

This month Gazelli House’s in-house creative Naomi Hutton will show you how to escape the stresses of modern life and bring focus to the mind through the ancient art of mosaic making.

All art materials will be provided and you’ll leave with your own handmade mosaic.

HOSTED BY The Curtain

We know you love yourselves some floral crafts, so celebrate Easter with Grace & Thorn, and a fabulous flower crown workshop!

Grace & Thorn

After 10 years working in recruitment, Nik Southern founded Grace & Thorn in 2011. Opening her tiny floral studio onto East London’s busy Kingsland Road, her philosophy was simple: help people in the city live a greener life. Drawing on the worlds of art and fashion rather than traditional florist designs, Grace & Thorn plays with unique combinations of textures and patterns so no two pieces are ever the same. An asymmetrical style, focus on foliage, wicked pots and DIY classes (Macrame, anyone?) has attracted a cult following across London. Grace & Thorn now has roots in Hackney with clients all over the UK
