Tutors Charlie Nixon and Sibell Barrowclough started the CoLab Creativity group together and since then members have produced a huge amount of fantastic creative pieces, from sculpture to painting.  

'The ‘This City We Live In’ Exhibition is the work of many hands, working together to make beautiful and meaningful art pieces. It’s a chance for learners to showcase and really celebrate all the truly incredible work they’ve created and everything they’ve achieved since the group began' Sibell Barrowclough

Now some of the group’s work has been collated and will be on display publicly, in art exhibition to celebrate the groups achievements.

Attendees have told us that the art group has been a lifeline during difficult times, and somewhere they feel they belong.”  Charlie Nixon, Activities Co-ordinator at Julian House.
