Thanks to everyone who joined us on May 26th to up-cycle their ceramic by using acrylic paints to make new planters and work of arts.

Green Elephant Drawing Club

In the Summer, we were excited to work with children and young people from Newington Estate in partnership with InSpire Youth Service. We ran workshops in and around green spaces at the Elephant and Castle and held an end of project exhibition.

We are pleased to announce that Notting Hill Housing are funding some further workshops to enable us to develop the work in Walworth and Burgess Park, with young people from the Aylesbury Estate.

Wreath Making

We had another good crowd of people of all ages for our popular annual free wreath-making session with some great creations to take home!

Marking Places

It was a pleasure to work with local people to research, design and make three commemorative markers for beautiful Burgess Park. The project included: a heritage talk to hear ideas and identify sites for the markers; looking at photographs, maps and stories from the area; making models, designing and making the markers. We are delighted to have worked with the community to mark the following sites in the park: Market Gardens, North Camberwell Radical Club, the Foundry and other works. Thanks to Big Lottery and Bankside, Borough and Walworth Cleaner Greener Safer for  funding this.
