This is Nikol, who joined Accumulate workshops back in 2020 for The Radio Station For The Homeless project. She got an Accumulate scholarship to study on the Access course at Ravensbourne University London and got a DISTINCTION, she then progressed to BA Digital Photography and got a DISTINCTION and then she went onto the MFA Digital Photography and has now got a DISTINCTION for that!!! The story of Nikol’s amazing success is a the story of what happens when you break down barriers and open up opportunities for people who just need that little bit of extra help. We are just so hugely hugely proud of Nikol and all that’s she has achieved and become. Nikol is the story of Accumulate.

Back to to enjoy a fabulous session designing tote bags 🛍️

gave us a delicious peek into her spellbinding sketchbooks and practice before leading us in a ‘portrait’ workshop.

Things seldom being quite what they seem, faces and body parts were sketched, abstracted, collaged, stitched and painted into unique creations.

Engrossing and ingenious, this workshop tickled our talented group in very individual ways.

Big thanks to Div and Sonia from , Matt and Jess from the Barbican and our workshop leaders for a stellar sessions! 😍🔥👌🏾

It was such a treat to be back at for a serene day of visiting Encounters: Giacometti x Huma Bhaba and a weaving workshop.

We were all moved in different ways by the sculptures that explored our humanity, connection to the landscape and collective trauma.

With both artists using bronze, the ethereal and elongated contrasted beautifully contrasted with the towering and imposing human forms.

To add to our delight, .vaidyanath, in collaboration with , shared her own loom and practice with us in creating a communal woven artwork. Seeing participants collaborate and support each other is part of what makes Accumulate so special!

Thanks everyone! 🙏🏾🥰🙌🏾

Such amazing words from an Accumulate participant ❤️ Building confidence to move forwards with positivity

‘Thank you for helping to foster my own self-confidence to do what I need to do. I’ve become much more involved with the physical aspects of making things; I have a construction card test on Thursday that I’m expected to pass, and I should hopefully be able to get a part time job to support my writing, sewing, and potentially pivot into a warehousing career with transferable skills. Thanks to your investment in me, I know I can handle a LOT of tasks. I feel hopeful for my own future.’
