Free linocut masterclass with artist Lisa Nash, using paper and ink from Grenfell Tower floral tributes to create memorial prints.
Lisa Nash is leading a linocut workshop at The Box on Saturday 7 November, from 11am to 1pm. It's a free session, and it's built around materials that carry a heavy weight: the paper and ink are made from floral tributes left at the base of Grenfell Tower.
Nash is an artist, curator and archivist based in North Kensington, London, and her work has spent the last nine years responding to the Grenfell Tower fire. She's a long-term resident of the area, and that lived experience sits at the heart of what she does. She's worked alongside bereaved families, survivors and the wider community on participatory memorial projects, including the Grenfell Memorial Community Mosaic, and she's a member of the Spontaneous Memorials Network. This session draws on the body of work she's curated since the fire.
During the workshop, you'll carve linocuts and pull prints using that paper and ink, made from the flowers left at the tower. The pieces you make will join a collection being preserved and displayed ahead of the fire's tenth anniversary in June 2027, and after that, they'll become part of an ongoing archival memorial. It's a chance to contribute something tangible to a project that's still growing.
