About
Following on from a work-in-progress display earlier this year, Kingston University’s creative researchers alumni group The Storybox Collective return to Ham House this September to display artwork inspired by our 17th-century Still House.
Drawing on Ham House’s unique collections, its intriguing history, and vibrant gardens, the exhibition blurs the boundaries between garden and interior, connecting past and present, fact and folklore — inviting visitors to examine the role of historic places and collections as sources of creativity.
The multidisciplinary exhibition brings together creative responses in ceramics, textiles, print, poetry, mixed media, and installations.
Presented by The Storybox Collective in collaboration with the National Trust’s Ham House and Garden.
The Storybox Collective is a group of artists, designers and writers working with historic collections and archives to explore the potential of creative research through collaborative making. Previous collaborative projects include: 'William Morris Wallpaper Man' with The William Morris Society and 'Finding Ways In' with the Sussex opera house Glyndebourne.
