​

​In 2009, Espression Arts launched in Canterbury with our much-loved interactive arts café, where pottery painting and creativity brought people together in a social environment for parties, gift making, and more.

 

Although our café sadly closed in 2021 after the COVID pandemic, our creative community has continued to grow, and today we deliver arts and wellbeing experiences across Kent and the surrounding area in a mobile capacity.

 

In 2017, Espression Arts became a Community Interest Company (CIC), ensuring that profits from our workshops, parties, and ceramic products are reinvested into community projects with a heart. This social enterprise model allows us to combine enterprise with impact delivering projects for the elderly in care, people living with dementia, children's holiday schemes and schools. We deliver creative experiences that reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and celebrate the joy of making. Bringing people together as we did in our cafe for a conversation over refreshments. 

​

We’re proud to have been recognised locally, including the Kent Messenger Best Creative Volunteer Project Award for both Canterbury and Kent, and as finalists in the Kent Dementia Friendly Awards.

​

At Espression Arts, we believe in under-promising, over-delivering, and always putting people first. Whether through pottery painting, clay workshops, or community-led creative projects, we aim to give everyone the chance to experience the wellbeing benefits of art.
