Meet Your Artist Facilitators

Morning Session – Tallulah Lines

The super talented Tallulah Lines will be leading the morning session. Tallulah is a muralist and visual artist, founder of Las Iluministas and co-director of Pink-collar Gallery.

She leads workshops and public art projects with a strong focus on social justice themes, working across a wide range of materials and with participants of all ages — from children to adults. Her practice is rooted in community engagement and collective creativity, regularly exploring identity, place, and shared storytelling through accessible making processes.

Afternoon Session – Sophie Keith

Sophie Keith is a queer and disabled artist based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Their practice combines sculpture and painting using recycled and repurposed materials, drawing inspiration from horror, science fiction, and folklore.

Keith’s work investigates how myths are used to explain the world we live in, exploring the ways mythology and popular culture overlap — and how modern stories function in similar ways to traditional myth-making systems.

Come along, connect with others, and enjoy a welcoming creative space for wellbeing, expression, and learning.

Spaces are limited to keep sessions small and supportive — book early to avoid disappointment.
