FAMILY ART FUN DAY: Muddy Making From The River Wandle

Sat 6 August // 12-2pm

FREE

At Turf Gallery, Keeley Road, Croydon

 

Did you know that the mud, leaves and plants around us can be used as art materials? In this artist-led workshop, create your own painting tools to take home and get experimental with plant printmaking!

Mix your own mud-paint and build a paintbrush to take home, then use these tools to make a giant painting! We’ll also try different methods of printmaking, using leaves of all different shapes and sizes to make screen-prints and mono-prints.

This workshop is completely free to attend and all materials are provided. Most suitable for ages 5+ but all are welcome to come and have a go.

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.
