Open Studio
The studio is open for visits every day. Come and see what is on the benches, talk to whoever is working, and look at finished pieces before they go out to a show. No appointment and no fee.
Programs
Five programs, one workflow.
The door is open every day, the classes are free, and the material is whatever each artist can find. This is what the studio actually runs.
Saturday Art Classes for Children
Free art classes for children, every Saturday from 11am to 2pm, run by Dennis Bull Ndegwa. Materials are provided and nothing is charged.
Enquiries on 0703 300 385 or 0794 505 040.
Salvaged Material
Almost everything here starts as packaging. Maize meal sacks, unga paper, seed packets, tin labels, cardboard and sheet metal. There is no central store: each artist collects the material their own work needs.
Exhibitions
Work from the studio shows regularly in Nairobi and beyond. Between them the artists here have exhibited at the Kenya National Museum, the Village Market, the Canadian High Commission and the Kibera Art District biennale, and as far as Rome and Cincinnati.
Selling Work
Pieces are for sale and commissions are open. Ask about anything in the gallery and the studio will send dimensions, condition notes and a price.
