Exhibition - Fabrics & Canvas Creations by Christelle Mutombo-Cartier (aka Kabikanvas)
- From 8 October
- Sunday 26 October: Meet the Artist
Location: The Makers Studio

Christelle Mutombo-Cartier says:
"My art is created by using fabrics - especially wax material on canvases - to make beautiful and unique pieces of art and using different techniques.
The majority of material is recycled and I’ve been now for couple of years collecting some great piece from a local tailor otherwise it would go in the bin, so I try to do my bit for a better way of living by recycling."

‘Bruce Castle is haunted, as everybody knows…If Bruce Castle is not haunted, then who stalks about in the turret class room when mortals are a-bed? And who…leaves nought behind him but a heavy feeling of presence in the darkness?’ The Brucian, August 15, 1856
Visit the Candlelit Castle and be transported back to the Victorian age of ghost stories by costumed guides. They will share the sinister secrets and eerie experiences hidden inside the walls of one of London’s most haunted buildings.
