Resources

A bunch of resources we hope you’ll find helpful. There are resources you can access in our space (like our library or paper archive), or online like our Groundwerk Manuals which are designed to give essential career skills for artists. There are also resources that are Croydon-specific like our Croydon Creative Map.

Groundwerk Artists' Manuals

Our Groundwerk programme aims to give artists the skills needed for a creative career. These manuals will impart some of the knowledge you may need!

Croydon Creative Resource Map

We’ve made a map of our favourite Croydon creative spaces and supporting industries (e.g manufacturers), to try and help Croydon artists and makers to find and support resources locally.

Paper Library

We found choosing test papers for printing quite long and expensive, so we made an archive of papers and prints which is open for anyone to view at Turf to get a reference for your project. Email us at info@turf-projects.com if you'd like to use it.
