As The Walls Speak in Flowers enters its final days, Ruup & Form opens its doors for an intimate evening of readings with the artists of Common Clay, exploring collective making, community, care, memory, and the stories we share.

Featuring readings by contributing artists, the evening extends the conversations at the heart of the exhibition. Clay has always held language within it, from inscribed tablets to the quiet vocabulary of the maker's hand, and these readings draw out the memories, materials, and landscapes embedded in the work.

Gather with us amongst flowers and candlelight for a final evening of listening, reflection, and shared conversation before the exhibition closes the following day.

Guests are invited to arrive from 6pm. Readings will take place from 6.30 to 7.15pm, followed by drinks and conversation with the artists. The evening closes at 8pm.

Admission is free. Places are limited and booking is essential.

An immersive, evening-based drawing workshop extending from Christopher Kelly’s solo exhibition Evisceration at Ruup & Form.

Co-hosted by Cengizhan Sen of The Poorly Project, this session offers a neurodiverse friendly, sensory led approach to drawing, inviting participants to respond to sculptural works through experimental mark making and gentle observation.

Set within the exhibition space, the workshop uses low lighting, candlelight, a subtle soundscape and tactile materials to support calm, embodied and intuitive engagement. Participants are encouraged to work slowly and responsively, using drawing as a meditative practice rather than a technical exercise.

Engaging with the sculptures and the shadows they cast, attendees explore how shifts in light, texture and proximity influence perception, offering space to reflect on how the works may stimulate, steady or soothe individual sensory experience.

The session foregrounds shared reflection and community, creating an open and supportive environment where diverse neurodivergent experiences are welcomed, acknowledged and held with care.
