FAMILY ART FUN DAY: Remodelling Croydon

Sat 2 July // 12-2pm // At Turf

 

Remodelling Croydon! Imagine that you could build anything you wanted, anywhere in Croydon – what would it be? Perhaps an open air swimming pool on top of the library? A triple decker skate park? What about speakers blasting music on all of the streets?

In this artist-led workshop, experiment with clay, cardboard, plastic, paper, wood, metal and more to create your very own part of the town. Work with artists to create a model of your design, then set up and photograph your building as part of our miniature future Croydon! Can you tell a story about what happens in your building?

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