In 1998, Trinity Buoy Wharf was an empty, derelict site. Now it is a thriving centre for the arts and creative industries with a rare community of over 350 like minded people enjoying the unique riverside location. Free from overdevelopment, the site's fasinating history can still be see

n in the buildings, installations and residents such as the Lightships LV93 and LV95 that are moored here. With careful regeneration, Trinity Buoy Wharf has kept its character whilst offering amenities such as studio and gallery space, a pier, boat club, school, rehearsal rooms and two dining options in the form of Driftwood Cafe and Fat Boys all American diner and 3 of the hugely sustainable Container City buildings.

Who says self portraits can’t be fun??

All you need for this activity is a piece of paper and some charcoal - just place the paper over your face and trace over the lines and contours of your features. It’s definitely the strangest self-portrait we’ve ever made, and we loved the process and had so much fun with it!

As always, this series is a reminder that drawing can be playful and silly and FUN! This activity is the perfect way to loosen up and make yourself focus on the process without overthinking the finished product.

What’s the point of art?? Comment ‘RUSKIN’ to enter your work to the 9th Ruskin Prize, ‘Not for Present Delight’ 🙌

This year’s theme invites artists, designers and craftspeople to question the role of the maker today. We did a bit of a deep dive through the archive of incredible Ruskin Prize shortlisted works from over the years and it got us thinking…

What IS the point of art? Should it be beautiful, functional, provocative? Should it make us look closer? Should it make us feel something??

Let us know what you think below ⬇️💭
