Free, drop in
Make a mini clay walrus for display at Lewisham Shopping Centre in this London Borough of Culture Creative Challenge.

Roll up your sleeves and join us in a free, hands-on session to create a mini model of our much-loved walrus. Then see your creation on display in Lewisham Shopping Centre from the end of February.

The models will be made using das clay, environmentally friendly paints, and will be the size of a credit card.

These sessions are part of Lewisham Councils’ monthly Creative Challenges. Your creation will join with thousands of other walruses made across the borough, as part of Lewisham’s London Borough of Culture 2022.

After the display is finished, Lewisham is inviting members of the public to take a walrus home with them. Collection will be from the We Are Lewisham Unit on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 March.

Lewisham Council has partnered with the Horniman and dedicated February to borough-wide climate awareness and action.

Open to all – adults and children. Suitable for children aged 3+.
