coffee and arts morning

65+ Creative Coffee Morning: Bunting Making Workshop – Led by Bori Hardi

Join us for a coffee morning paired with a bunting making workshop with Bori Hardi, to spend some time together whilst discussing our memories and hopes for Croydon!

We’re inviting over 65’s to Turf for a special free workshop as part of our latest project ‘Squidgy World’, which explores the creation of spaces for relaxation and play through tactile and interactive art.

Join us for a coffee morning paired with a bunting making workshop with Bori Hardi, to spend some time together whilst discussing our memories and hopes for Croydon.

We’re trying to develop more activities for people over 65, and would love to welcome you to our space and find out what kind of creative activities or events you would enjoy. We’re interested in using creativity to bring people together. As a space founded by Croydon locals, we’re also interested in what people miss about Croydon, and what people want to see in the borough. Our community art space at Turf Projects is a place to come together, relax, reflect, be creative, explore and share our thoughts, feelings, and imaginations.

We’re encouraging intergenerational collaboration within all of our workshops as part of current project ‘Squidgy World’. Though this workshop is aimed at over 65s, all ages are welcome so feel free to bring family members and friends of all ages!

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
