Emergency Exit Arts and Wembley Park collaborate this summer to bring guests the opportunity to make a giant scale public art work. This Summer, be the maker.
Guerrilla Arts
This Summer, join our Guerrilla Army of public artists to make your mark on Wembley Park as part of the Summer of Play. Learn to make your own festival flag with internationally renowned carnival artist Helen Davenport or get creative on a giant scale and carve your own wooden bench or totem pole led by acclaimed wood carving specialist Stephen Stockbridge.
All items made during the workshops will be displayed across Wembley Park in September 2018 as part of a large scale public art project. Get to grips with familiar hand tools and learn simple but beautiful techniques to use again and again. Workshops are powered by Emergency Exit Arts, a charity with over ten years experience in the craft sector.
