Arts Desire

Arts Desire We are closed Arts Desire now also includes a coffee shop where you can enjoy a cappuccino, latte or specialist tea with a yummy homemade piece of cake!

Arts Desire has recently re-located to the old cobblers shop in the heart of Norwich's Golden Triangle, providing a new addition to the creative community. Here we not only specialise in locally sourced, vintage and handmade goods, but also run a Craft Lounge which hosts a broad range of workshops, including sewing, paper crafts and silver jewellery making. The Craft Lounge welcomes people of all

ages and abilities, with courses catering for everyone, whether you’re looking to rekindle your artistic talent or simply fancy discovering your creative ability. On Sundays you can join us for a bite for breakfast from 10am whilst reading the papers and enjoying the free wifi. We hope to see you soon!

Margaret Olley said: “I’ve never liked housework. I get by doing little chores when I feel like them, in between painting. Who wants to chase dust all their life? You can spend your whole lifetime cleaning the house. I like watching the patina grow. If the house looks dirty, buy another bunch of flowers, is my advice.”

So, instead of cleaning the house this weekend, take Olley’s advice and buy a bunch of flowers, then come to the Gallery and enjoy our new exhibition ‘Margaret Olley: The Art of Flowers’ on display until 12 March 2023.
