After gaining essential funding from Arts Council England, this Spring we launch the Tele Hill Arts Club. A community driven series of creative intergenerational workshops for Lewisham. The multi-media workshops will lead to an exhibition held at the Hill Station Community Café from the 11th of July until the 9th of August. Workshops will be led by local artists: Communal Clay (Alice Kasahare and Tabitha Weddell), Molly Bonnell and Nic Sanderson.
Open: 16/05/2026 – 23/05/2026
Posted: 13/04/2026
Who is this for?
Tele Hill Arts Club empowers Telegraph Hill residents to transform the community space at Hill Station Community Café to reflect diverse locals. Through 9 artist-led workshops in textiles, furniture design and ceramics, local families with very young children, young people aged 12-15, and older residents will co-create artworks for exhibition and use. Tele Hill Arts Club fosters intergenerational connection, local pride and inclusive skill-building with an accessible approach at its core.
This project works with:
● Local families with very young children
● School children aged 8–15 accessing The Somerville youth services
● Members of Just Older Youth (JOY) club
