We would like to cordially invite you to the Autumn and Winter workshops. At ILKON we have a series of offerings coming up from local artists of all varieties including acrylic pouring, collage, dance, floristry and singing. We hope there is something to tickle your fancy.

We start with a SOBER RAVE on the first Sunday of the month, Sunday 2 November, 3:00 - 5:00PM delivered by Gemma herself. These are a place for you to dance however "dance" looks for you. As a trainee Dance Movement Practitioner, Gemma wants you to feel free, joyful and as safe as possible in this space. Music is played via silent disco headphones from across the eras and over the genres. These will now happen each first Sunday of the month. Book at: dandelion.events/u/gemmagwenarmes

We would be delighted to receive suggestions for talks, workshops, demonstrations, performances for any creative activity which will engage the local community. We have formed links with local historic societies, painters, sculptors, writers, poets and aim to be as inclusive as possible. The main thrust of ILKON is creative contemporary art but we are a community resource and want to offer something for all tastes, all ages, everyone.
