Regents Park Art Workshops


Council and Gelliecrafts recently hosted free art workshops in Regents Park this month. The creative contributions from local residents in these workshops will inspire new artwork by artist Gelliecrafts. This artwork will decorate ten large planter boxes to be installed to beautify Amy Street in Regents Park Town Centre later this year.
