Lewisham celebrated Borough of Culture 2022, and thanks to funding from LBL, we held a series of workshops with local schools and the community around the theme ‘Growing for Peace’.

Alongside local author Emily Haworth-Booth, we delivered a number of graphic novel workshops with local schools and the local community, exploring the themes of ‘protest’ and ‘peace’ to illustrate a story about the future we want to create. An exhibition of everyone’s art work was up at the Ringway during December 2022.

Together with Clay at the Ringway project and local artist Lily German, we explored the theme of climate change through art, reading about the Sand Fairy in Edith Nesbit’s story ‘Five Children and It’, and making ceramic sand fairies.

We produced ‘The Wild Rangers’ Guide to Making a Healthy Neighbourhood‘, illustrated by Emily Haworth-Booth, exploring the story of Grove Park’s 50 year campaign to protect its green spaces and community assets.
