Old Mill Arts is an multidisciplinary learning project to empower creative capacities both individually and collectively.
In our studio, through our workshops and during projects, we explore the hidden profundity of hand making creative materials. Through practising and sharing these age old crafts, we hope to remember parts of ourselves eclipsed by mass production, and to celebrate the rich history of the handmade arts.
