Coventry University x Slow Boat
Join us on Slow Boat in Coventry for an experimental programme led by Fine Art students from Coventry University.
Led by the students’ own practices, and research this programme brings together a series of artist-led interventions, with Slow Boat acting as a testing ground, a studio, a classroom, a canal lab and a site.
Across the afternoon, things shift between informal workshops, performances, and discussions.
Here, we aren’t just talking about practice. We are practicing practice.

Stourbridge and Halesowen: June 2026
We began our mooring in Stourbridge with a visit from Glasshouse College students. Here, we worked with Dale Hipkiss to ask: ‘Does the current architecture of the Black Country reference natural forms and the limestone landscape?’
This workshop was influenced by the ancient Silurian landscape, exploring the region’s prehistoric marine life and the patterns formed by its limestone.
