Art House Meath
96 High St Godalming Surrey GU7 1DW
A gallery, studio, shop and social enterprise where all the artwork on display and sale is created by adults living with severe epilepsy and learning difficulties. An award-winning initiative, which sees 100% of the profits channeled back into the project, this is more than just a way to buy yourself a warm a fuzzy feeling – the gear is genuinely great, with much of imagery and some of the sentiments expressed in the works as funny as they are poignant. Products include prints, T-shirts and sweaters, cards, notebooks and journals, mugs and kitchenware, cushions and jewellery. In the gallery at the back of the shop, 10 sessions a week are conducted by professional artists, who provide guidance and inspiration to the people creating the pieces. Involvement in the project has proven to be life-changing for the people involved.
