Description
Our workshop with Phoenix Farms, a community garden in White City, London, began with a warm introduction to the space and its people. We toured the garden with Jo, the manager, who shared stories of its history and growth, inspiring our ideas for the session.
Through collaborative brainstorming, we envisioned creating wooden signs reflecting the community's spirit while enhancing accessibility through visual, tactile, and audible elements. Responsibilities were delegated, materials gathered, and creative mediums selected to ensure inclusivity. The workshop fostered community bonds, artistic expression, and a deeper connection with the garden, leaving lasting impressions and possibilities.
