Join Newham based artist Eleanor Pearce for an art course inspired by the green heritage of allotment gardening in East London. The course combines elements of still life, portraiture and landscape, whilst incorporating personal recollections and shared memories of domestic vegetable gardening. This in-person event will allow you to unleash your artistic talents with guidance every step of the way. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, this course is perfect for anyone looking to improve their skills and connect with like-minded individuals. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to learn, create, and have a great time!

We will be working towards a showcase exhibition at East Ham Library in September, as well as a Harvest Event at Reynolds Avenue Allotments.

‘Up the Allotments!’ is brought to you by Loop Labs, East Side Community Heritage and Eleanor Pearce Artist. The project celebrates the history of Reynolds Allotments in Manor Park through a practical gardening, art and heritage programme.

The project is generously funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund
