‘United Voices’ Making Day 1 – RCAxJ4G

On the 28th May 2018, the RCAxJ4G Solidarity Group & Justice4Grenfell hosted a day of ‘making’ at The Curve Community Centre.

Thanks to the students at the Royal College of Art’s Justice4Grenfell Solidarity Group, the community were able to print t-shirts and bags, try out weaving green hearts, banner making and poster making.

It was a wonderful day that enabled people of all ages in the community to come together to create some beautiful work that can be used along the Silent Walk route on the 14th June to mark one year of the fire at Grenfell Tower.

We are really pleased to announce TWO additional making days, open to everybody, on the 9th & 10th June 2018 at the Royal College of Art, Dorando Close – which is a few minutes walk from Wood Lane and White City Underground Stations.   There will also be a couple of new ‘making’ stations for people to try out!

It’s really accessible – you can take the Hammersmith & City or Circle Line from Latimer Road or Ladbroke Grove to Wood Lane. From Wood Lane, it’s a really easy to get to the Campus –  we’ve included a map in the gallery. Everyone is welcome – please do come down!

We’d like to thank the RCAxJ4G Solidarity Group and also the Portable Print Studio, who facilitated the bag and t-shirt printing.
