Join artist Lucy Steggals and our community collaborators for the fourth iteration of #Ooh0: a series of circular surprises.
This event stems from the group’s fascination with the double lipped jug that belonged to Jim and Helen Ede, founders of Kettle’s Yard.
The group invites everyone to join them to explore and create through activities and interactions inspired by the jug, which is still located in the House.
