Every month we showcase the art of a different up-and-coming artist in our 'Residency Studio', next to the bar. CRATE's Artist In Residence studio offers artists the chance to exhibit for free, whilst bringing you new and interesting art, changing every month. This month's artist is Ludovica Sitajolo. "The Creaking Of The Salt", Prints On Paper, 2017 - present A journey through Sicily under and over the sea, inside and outside us, showing a timeless dimension characterized by a strong Black and White and an Aquamarine color. The title refers to a curious sound that comes to you when immersing yourself under the water, it will be able to bring you into another dimension by also losing the track of time. Ludovica Sitajolo, Italian born artist, currently living and studying in London, a Photographer, Painter, Installation Artist. Constantly looking for different perceptions of time.

This month we are going to be creating our own totally individual Christmas decorations, using just a plain foam bauble and the contents of the bottom of all your craft boxes/bags/drawers! In the spirit of both Christmas and sustainability, we are asking everyone to dig out any bits of festive ribbon, fabric, paper, glitter, sequins (whatever you find and you think looks fun) to bring and share with everyone. We will provide the basic baubles, plus glue, pins, scissors etc. So come along, have fun, make a bit of a mess and go home with a new decoration for your tree just in time for Santa's arrival! Free for members, £10 for guests. Wine (hopefully mulled) and festive treats included.
