Double Lipped

The Kettlers are a creative arts group of people from North Cambridge who gather bimonthly with artist Lucy Steggals to grapple, stretch, tinker, reflect, enquire, repair, experiment, make, play, share and laugh. Our favourite object in the house is a clear glass double lipped jug hiding in one of the corners.

During 2022, The Kettlers are collaborating on a series of creative conversations focusing on our favourite corners of Kettle's Yard. Each quarter, we are exploring one corner and taking it as a starting point for our playful experiments. Thinking about the objects, artworks and things that live in that corner. Expanding on and adding our own thoughts, reflections, feelings, and narratives as well as finding ways to invite the wider public to join in the conversation. 

We are co-creating a card deck called 'Double Lipped' that will launched at the end of the year. We hope it will encourage visitors to engage in creative conversations and explore corners of the house in new unique and meaningful ways.  Please select a corner of the House, below, to start your exploration.

All the images and artwork here are the original creations of The Kettlers.
