Everyone is welcome to our free drop-in workshops with artist Rachel Gadsden this February!
Inspired by the National Gallery’s Art On Your Doorstep Rachel is inviting the people of Croydon to be part of our very own collective masterpiece.
Get creative with art materials from oil pastels to charcoals to make your own artwork. Every picture created will be collaged together by Rachel to make a series of new paintings embodying the spirit, the people and the places of Croydon! This will be revealed in May 2026.
Drop-in workshops take place at Croydon Clocktower, Thornton Heath Library and New Addington Library.
