Overview

Join the VisUAL Society, the Arts SU Advice Team & UAL Libraries for a very special Crafternoon this Disability History Month! Suminagashi or “floating ink” is the process of marbling plain paper with water and ink to transform it into something vibrant and colorful. It originated in Japan as early as the 12th century. Dive in and take a swirl.

VisUAL Society

The society strives to create a diverse and supportive community for anyone who loves making and crafts and would like to further their skills. Whether you are already making or perhaps have developed a new interest in crafts, all are welcome! The society wants to support and enrich the students at UAL who feel they may be missing that integral community feel. Their goal is to create a student experience that is both fun and informative. They want to help you develop as a creative both in a skills sense and a networking sense. 

Arts SU Advice Team

The Arts SU AdviceTeam are here to help you to have the best experience possible during your time at UAL. The advisors are here to provide independent, impartial and free advice to UAL students on a range of academic and accommodation matters. They also love hosting fun events for our students, and are taking part in Disability History Month to help provide a platform for our students who identify as disabled, and to help signpost them to where they can get assistance from UAL! 

UAL Libraries

The UAL Libraries are one of our richest resources at UAL, and the librarians love collaborating with Arts SU for liberation periods such as Disability History Month! They are hosting the Crafternoons to show students that the libraries can also be places of community for them, and have also decided to install Sensory Corner pop-ups in several College libraries during Disability History Month.
