Artist studios and gallery — London
Bow Arts runs artist studios, community spaces and the Lakeside Centre, focused on everyday creativity rather than spectacle. You find regular yoga sessions, drawing and clay workshops, family craft mornings and open studio days where artists show work and process. The vibe is practical and local: workshops led by practising artists, performance projects tied to east London places, and occasional teacher CPD events. It sits within the Bow/Townslade area and links to wider east London arts walks and community programmes.
