Amanartis at Atria
Amanartis at the Atria. Think of all that the Chapel has to offer but bigger.
Opening in Spring 2024, expect the same creative, exciting and unique experience of the Chapel with even more beautiful, distinct and stylish products from exceptional artists, designers and makers, a dedicated gallery, relaxing resource area full of creative publications and books to inspire and learn from.
Located on the atrium balcony of the Atria on level 2 on exit from Queens carpark.
Progress is steady and the plan is to open in spring 2024. In the mean time if you would like to know more, be part of the the expansion or have an idea that you would like to share please message here.
See below for more details.
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.

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.

Exhibitions
After many years of designing for her own fashion accessory brand, Amma Gyan has returned to her first love, art. Combing her love of textiles and focusing on texture and hue Amma’s exhibition that is now showing at the Chapel begins the journey home, exploring the emotions and events that challenge us, stepping into uncomfortable places in our hearts and minds and seeing the beauty that can come of it .

Tell me, what would you love to know, learn or try. I’m of that thinking, if you don’t ask you don’t get so always ask because the worst is a no.
If I can, I’ll make it happen. Email me with suggestions and ideas of workshops that you’d like to attend.
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.
