COMMUNITY
Make alongside other people.
LAB TWO6 is a place to meet people, try new things and keep making through recurring sessions, events and shared creative activity.
WHY COMMUNITY
Creativity is easier to sustain together.
You don’t need to work alone. LAB TWO6 creates regular opportunities to make, learn, talk, experiment and stay connected to a creative practice.
01
Show up
Regular sessions give you a reason to keep making. Explore Watercolour Wednesday and the Urban Sketching Hangout: relaxed creative time with Robert Scholten, without formal teaching. Schedules and prices are being confirmed; register your interest through each session page.
02
Meet people
Make alongside artists, photographers, designers and curious beginners.
03
Try things
Use community sessions to experiment without needing a polished outcome.
04
Keep momentum
Small, regular creative habits can build into larger projects over time.
EVENTS / MEETUPS
Sometimes the format changes.
Alongside recurring labs, LAB TWO6 can host artist talks, exhibition visits, collaborative making sessions, screenings, critique nights and informal creative meetups.
These can be member events, public sessions or collaborations with other artists and organisations.
WHO IT’S FOR
You don’t need to know anyone first.
LAB TWO6 community sessions are for people who want more creative connection, whether you’re beginning, returning to art, working professionally or simply curious.
