Welcome to the 'Talking' Creative Arts Peer Support Group where we invite you to come and share your experiences, tips and hints around all things creative at our bi-monthly meetings, from painting to pottery, sketching to sculpting and every creative talent in between.

We are pleased to invite you to join group facilitators Steve Cox and Mark Baxter for our second 'Talking' Creative Arts Peer Support Group where we are delighted to welcome our guest speaker Vinicius Les, founder of London art studio Colour and Clay.

Colour and Clay Studio is a pottery and art studio in North Kensington, London, that offers inclusive pottery classes for all abilities, including people with special needs. Founded by artists Eliz and Vinicius Les, the studio provides an inclusive, safe and inspiring space to learn pottery techniques like pinching, coiling, and wheel-throwing. Through their professional guidance and patient approach, participants not only learn the craftsmanship of clay but also experience the therapeutic benefits of engaging in a creative process. They also offer various courses, taster sessions, and private classes.

This online group gives you the opportunity to share your stories, tips, hints and advice around all things creative from painting to pottery, sketching to sculpting and every creative talent in between.

Whether you’re an experienced artist, a novice creator or you wish to unlock a hidden talent then this is the ideal group for you.

Please come and join us and ask questions, share knowledge and learn from like-minded others who are living with inherited sight loss across the UK to empower innovation, creativity and promote confidence that even living with sight loss you too can get hands on and imaginative to complete projects where you can proudly say “I made that”.

We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you there!
