Art and design Workshops
The art and design workshop meets every Thursday afternoon at SMART. Tools and materials are provided, just bring yourself! A chance to practice artistic skills, socialize, relax and have fun.

Ask a conservator
If you have any object that could do with a new lease of life, ask one of the conservators that are part of the Conservation for Wellbeing project. We can put you in touch with an expert based on whatever object you have that could do with restoration.
