 Step into a unique creative experience that bridges Victorian craft, material history, and contemporary art. Join artist and practice-led researcher Donna Lowson for a hands-on Victorian hair art workshop, where you’ll learn to create delicate floral forms inspired by a historical tradition rich with meaning. Donna works with hair as both material and metaphor, transforming what is often discarded into tactile, thoughtful art. 

Using human hair sourced from salon waste—alongside synthetic hair for anyone who prefers not to work with biological material—she explores identity, memory, material afterlives, and the stories we overlook. Her practice revives the forgotten craft of Victorian hairwork while inviting new interpretations that connect past and present in surprising ways.
