Have you created a piece of artwork that you would like to share with
other people? This could be something that has some personal significance
for you, would be interesting to touch or it could be a conceptual piece.
Don't worry if you are not a maker yourself. We still want everyone to
bring one object to the event. This could be a designed object from your
home, a piece of art that you have bought or any other object that has
personal significance that you think would be interesting to touch.
Please feel free to use this as an opportunity to get feedback on your
work and discuss the work of fellow artists.
