Local artist Adriana Jaros has been selected to design two art murals at Pocket Living’s 458 Forest Road. This is Pocket’s second scheme in the borough of Waltham Forest and will be located opposite the William Morris Gallery. Get involved in designing a mural which will be unveiled early 2024.

Alongside the artist you will have the opportunity to develop your own colour pigments from the physical and local surroundings in Waltham Forest. From earth, soil and rocks this workshop will be a discovery of creating organic colour. Adriana will translate these into a well balanced and coherent colour palette for the mural application.

“I intend to evoke the intrinsic properties of the environments around us, as a reflection of the joy, depth, character and diversity of the area. How do we connect to our physical surroundings through colour?”

What to Bring

Duration:

17:30-20:30pm.

The workshop will begin with a walking tour of Lloyds Park. The session will involve foraging in the local area to design colour palettes of our surroundings. Learn about the artist’s influences and get involved in shaping the direction of the murals in your area. Bring good footwear and a tote bag to take your colour pigments away with you!
