Saturday Socials is a friendly, relaxed, collective who meet monthly at Cubitt Gallery to make with an artist or two. Experimenting with the unknown. It is a fluid world. There is always tea, coffee, biscuits and sometimes there are eggs, pegs, honesty and oranges (HOPE). Be prepared to eat your works!
