At every store. This weekly-themed art club lets your creative side come alive!

Using paints, glue, glitter and lots of other items you can create something beautiful. Maybe a celebration card or a painting of winter or spring or just something crazy that you just want others to see!

Once you have created your artwork, why don’t you ask a member of staff to take a photo of your masterpiece and send it to ideastore@towerhamlets.gov.uk.

We will put them on the website in our Art Club Gallery.
