Welcome to Artistic Allies Society
Whether you're artsy, in need of decorating your uni room with fun decor, or just want some escapism from academia. This is the society for you!
We lead arts & craft sessions twice every week in a relaxed and sociable space. We plan to do pottery, fabric painting, and flower arangements to name a few. As well as themed sessions around Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day, and Easter! Participating in planned activities is completely optional. Feel free to bring in or suggest any creative endeavors you enjoy.
This society is for everyone Hallam students, Uni Of students, non-students, partners, and friends.

These are our relaxed meet ups at two different locations a week for accessibility. In these sessions we have a new arts and craft activity each week (same activity on Tuesdays and Thursdays). Making this a society you can have a creative outlet and a comfortable space to make friends.
