Donate to help fund a new creative community artspace

Convergence Hive is the arts hub that makes up the community support arm of House Of Serpents. Consisting of a combined arts hub, retail space and wellness centre located within the House Of Serpents Shop, Stoke Newington London. Convergence Hive aims to provide a therapeutic environment and space where people can learn, use our jewelry making, leather and metalworking equipment and train creatively in a relaxed setting, that helps to support their professional development and provides them with a retail space to sell their handmade creations at a lower than standard retail commission rates. A space where freelancers with disabilities, the elderly and local young artists can come to workshop and develop their designs, expand their skillbase, or just sell, or create. This gives them further opportunity to improve their employability and get support to set up their own small businesses. Projects on the horizon: Spill the tea!- a social weekly jewelry workshop for retired and disabled crafters. Low cost on site EQ use for freelance artists. The production and sale of LGBTQ+ and alternative lifestyle friendly resources for teens and young adults. However, the new House of Serpents premises involves complex renovations. The hub is in an ideal zone 2 location within a thriving and supportive local community, however this iconic 1850s and needs a lot of TLC after having been mistreated and left vacant for many years. New windows, flooring, and other essential structural repairs need completing for the community project to flourish. We are seeking essential funds so we can give back to the community over at least the next decade. The community project has been a long term dream of the founders, who wish to provide creative services and support to marginalised groups. We appreciate any and all contributions, big and small to get this project off the ground!
