I'm running a workshop!
Introduction to the
House of Amma - a Philosophy
Coming soon at the Chapel
A large part of Amanartis is the engagement I experience with the public, the conversations I have with people of all ages and stages of their create endeavours or life in general and I love it.
I was once asked what brings me joy – inspiring people does, in the form of writing, creating, baking, making – if I can share an insight or experience that lights a fire in you then, I’ve served my purpose.
The back ground to this workshop is posted mostly on my Amma Gyan Art site where you can read more about what I’ll be sharing in conversation on tips and methods that I’ve put into practice that have helped me live and create life of my choice for over 20 years.
Price: £15
Duration: 1.5hrs

Chill sessions
Coming Soon!
5.30pm - 9.30pm
Atria doors close at 7pm, car park closes at 9pm
Chill Sessions – A space to be inspired and discover what lies deep within doesn’t need to be experienced in isolation.
That’s the idea with our new Chill Sessions. Bring friends or meet and make new ones, bring your own drink and reflect on art, intention and other topics of a similar nature, all to the gentle mind opening beat of the drum.
Opening night is free, £3 thereafter.

Collaborating is key, lets come together to create something beautiful, chic, inspiring and unique. A destination like no other where you find real treasure made by talented, imaginative, skilled and driven designers, artists and makers. Think Charlie and the Chocolate factory but with Handmade products and original art – wouldn’t it be wonderful, let’s make it happen.
If you think you have a product that would add to the Amanartis Store at Atria then get in touch.
After the success of the Chapel I’m really pleased to be able to bring the experience and benefit of a shared creative/artist space to a prime and central location – Atria Watford.
The spaces will be of a co-working and artist studio nature, with flexible work areas and terms to suit a variety of needs.
- An event that you’d like to launch.
- Maybe you need a base once a week to run a course or workshop
As work and roles change from the environments times and days, our place of work has become something that we can define ourselves.
Co-working at Amanartis will be productive, comfortable, flexible and inspiring.
- Do you need a desk to work from for a day? Or a studio for a month? Prices range from £10 for half a day to £15 for a full day.
As a member of Amanartis at the Atria you will also benefit from member benefits in the form of discounts from Jamaica Blue coffee one of our newest partners.
Join our community and become of member of Amanartis at the Atria.
Art, it brings, joy, emotion, controversy but ultimately change. From a lift in your mood to a shift or change of an opinion, art is powerful.
Amanartis is about bringing people together, forming a community that serves and enriching the people that visit and experience the joy of all things creative. What are you passionate about that you want to share with the world, that you believe will enrich our minds and empower people and help to build strong communities and sow a seed of social change.

Breaking Bread
After you’ve taken in the art, browse the items in the shop, you can stop for a coffee and something to eat from our coffee station.
Creativity can be expressed in so many forms, from time to time I like to get a little experimental with a creative bake such as my Pea, Lime and Coconut cake. You’ll love it trust me.
*All bakes may contain traces of nuts.
Amanartis the venue
One of the many things that I love about the studio is it’s ability to transform, not only people’s mood which is becoming quite a powerful gift but also the flexibility of the space.
It’s the perfect venue for intimate gigs, product launches, workshops and informal meetings.
