Make a creature to live in the community garden!

Drop-in clay workshop at Allens Community Garden; we will be making magical creatures to decorate and inhabit and watch over the space! On Sunday December 6th, we are bringing the garden alive! Come to our Winter Open Garden where there will be food, drink, and a drop-in clay workshop. It is a chance to enjoy the garden, meet your community, and learn how to get involved. The clay workshop is a donation based, ticketed event in our cosy indoor classroom where will sculpt and decorate creatures which will go on to live on garden, watching over the coming growing year. We will be using Hieronymous Bosch's beasts as reference to inspire, but your imagination is the limit! Let's summon some heavenly and hellish creatures to inhabit our very own garden of earthly delights, Allens Community Garden! ALL AGES! but children must be supervised by an adult please. Suggested donation of £5, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Donations will cover the cost of materials and firing. Any profits will go support direct actionist’s legal funds. This is a ticketed event so we can have an idea of numbers. Last entry to workshop is 3.30pm. Directions Allens Community Garden is situated inside Allen's Gardens park in Stoke Newington. The postcode is N16 5BD. The entrance to the park is on Bethune road, near Manor road, and the garden is on the right when you enter the park through a wooden door, which will be clearly marked. Do make sure you don't go to the Allens Gardens in Shoreditch! what3words - rainy.caves.bond Accessibility The garden has no steps but is uneven and can be slippery in wet weather. The toilet is accessible by a ramp that has unfortunately broken, so includes a slope upwards and downwards. The main paths are wheelchair accessible but the spaces between beds can be too narrow at points for a wheelchair to pass. The site has running water, an indoor heated space and lots of seating. There is an unfenced pond, so small children need supervision. The garden is stewarded by primarily neurodivergent people, and we will do our best to accommodate any sensory needs. We love dogs, but if you want to bring a dog, please let us know in advance and keep them on a lead.
