Come and look inside our artist's studio and meet Royal Museums Greenwich's Practitioner in Residence, Nicole Mollett. Nicole is a socially engaged artist whose work celebrates alternative histories and forgotten places.

As part of her three-month residency, Nicole has been creating pieces in response to our exhibition, The Van de Veldes: Greenwich, Art and the Sea at the Queen's House.

During this special open studio event, see Nicole's new drawings and ask her questions about her ideas and creative process.

You can also take part in a creative workshop and contribute to a long drawing of waves. Using replica ship curves craftsman tools, which are based on items in the Museum's collection, why not let your imagination run wild and make a never-ending scroll drawing?
