Centred on the ideal that practical community activities are the foundation of collective responsibility, care, sustainability and valuing others and yourself, Lost Soup Kitchen facilitates practical and meaningful situations where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together, make objects and share food.
​
Our participatory events focus on skill sharing, re-learning lost hand and craft skills and making things. We see making as a unique method through which to understand and shape the world around you; an inclusive 'level playing field' activity through which you can connect with others or a community.

Zoë Pearson
Zoë graduated from GSA in 2014 with a core interest in human experience of structure and motion, which she explores through a wide range of mediums (printing, drawing, 3D modelling, film and sound). She is a firm believer that making has implicit and explicit effects on a person’s knowledge, pragmatism and psychological state and is a unique method through which to understand and shape the world. In November 2015 Zoë co-founded The Garret, an artist's studio in Govanhill (with fellow artist Anna Crilly) and collaborated with artists of The Garret to create a collection of six costumes to show in This Is Not a Fashion Show 2016 at the Govanhill Baths.
