Ceramics Space Induction

Croydon arts charity Turf Projects are thrilled to announce the launch of our new open-access ceramics facilities, following the success of our MakeRoom series last year.

Our monthly Inductions to use the facilities will take place on the first Saturday of each month and cost £35.

Completion of this induction will grant you open access to our ceramic facilities from Wednesday to Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm, bookable via Eventbrite for £15 for a 3 hour slot.

A BOUT TURF:

Founded in 2013 by Croydon locals, Turf is Croydon’s homegrown artist space and the first entirely artist-run contemporary art space in the borough. Based in Croydon’s Whitgift Shopping Centre, we put on free exhibitions & workshops, provide affordable artist studios, run a free creative project space for locals & host a number of other local creative organisations and collectives. A registered charity, Turf aims to provide paid opportunities for artists and creatives who might otherwise be under-supported.For more info or to get involved, please email us at [email protected]

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.
• 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.
