Join artist Lewis Danielski for a wander and a gander
Join artist Lewis Danielski for a not-so-guided, guided walk - a walk with no particular destination, with the sole aim of letting your brain off the leash for a while.
What happens when you stop focusing on where you're going and start paying attention to where you are?
With the help of a small activity booklet, this walk will invite you to see and interact with your environment differently - to notice what you might usually overlook, to be curious, and to point things out to each other - no matter how small or insignificant they may seem. There’ll be a fair amount of stopping, turning back, wandering in circles. Sitting down. Touching things. Sniffing the air. Maybe taking your shoes off. Not so much walking, really!
We will meet at the Jelly studios at 11am before heading outside - bring pens/pencils, water, snacks, whatever is in your pockets, shoes (if you want) and an open mind.
This workshop is for adults. If you would like to discuss any access needs in order to participate in this event please email

About the artist
Lewis is a multidisciplinary artist and illustrator based in London. He is passionate about play and observation as a means to make art and live life. He’ll share how a simple prompt helped shift how he sees the world - and made him a happier person. He hopes this little wander might do the same for you.

Frequently asked questions:
We are a small team working behind the scenes answering your questions. If you email us via eventbrite or via our website we will answer as soon as we can.
Where are you based?
Our studios are located within Broad St Mall. You can find us on the first floor. We are the last unit before the toilets and exit to the carpark. If you get lost please ask any Broad St Mall security guard and they will direct you.
Sometimes our workshops take place in the community. Be sure to check the address on your ticket. When we are out and about in Reading town centre in Forbury Gardens or at festivals we will not know our exact location within the festival site until the day.
If I cannot make my paid workshop, can I transfer my ticket to another event or get a refund?
We are able to offer a refund (minus event brite fees) or transfer your ticket to a future event if you contact us a minimum of 7 days before the event starts. After this time we cannot offer any refunds or transfers. 48 hours before the event you can contact us to enquire about a waiting list and we will endeavour to transfer your ticket.
As a charity we rely on donations and ticket sales to pay our artists and models. We always keep ticket costs to a minimum and when possible offer a limited number of tickets as a ‘pay what you can’ and a donation option if you are able to pay more.
Our free community workshops and festival workshops are often made possible due to funding by the organisers. These workshops are popular and run at capacity. If you have selected a free ticket and are no longer able to attend please return your ticket so it is able to go to people on our waiting list. At busy times there may be a short wait at the workshop table and make sure you allow plenty of time to join us.
