Sara Heywood workshop

History of the Docklands workshop with Sara Heywood in association with Bow Arts

In October, join artist Sara Heywood at Sunday Spot to investigate the histories of the South London Gallery’s newly opened Fire Station building. These sessions will bring to life the stories contained within the Fire Station’s walls from horse-drawn fire carts to Kennedy’s sausage factory to a dovecote for carrier pigeons. Come along to make large-scale artworks, working together to fill the studio through printing, sticking, hanging and drawing activities.

Sunday Spot is an ongoing series of free, drop-in family activities which takes place every Sunday from 2-4pm, suitable for children aged 3-12 years. All sessions are inclusive, for more information on access to the gallery please read here.
