Deptford X @ Creekside - 25 July - Friday 25th July 2025

Friday, 25th July, 10:00-12:00 & 13:30-16:30

Creekside is delighted to be continuting our involvement with the Deptford X Festival in 2025.

This year we will be swinging open our gates over three days, inviting everyone into our Discovery Centre to explore the site, meet the Creekside team and enjoy exhibits and workshops of local artists.

On Friday the 25th, Creekside staff and volunteers are welcoming people onto the site between 10am and 12 midday and then again from 1:30pm until 4:30pm.

As well as finding out about Creekside, what we do and how you can get involved, we will also have exhibits from the following local artists:

Paul Prestidge - artist (and Creekside conservation volunteer) who has been living in Deptford for over 45 years.

Angela McMahon - artist and trained geologist and hydrogeologist who has exhibited all over, including for Lewisham London Borough of Culture.

Julia Celeste Brunt - artist inspired to produce prints after her Low Tide Walk in Deptford Creek.

To visit the artist exhibits you do not need a ticket and can drop in during our opening times above and on Thursday and Saturday.

During the afternoon we also have Julia Celeste Brunt delivering a workshop: Trolley Tracks & Tetrapak - An Introduction to Sustainable Printmaking

Friday 24th July, 13:30–16:30 - Ticketed Activity - See below.

Join Julia Celeste Brunt for a hands-on printmaking workshop where everyday waste becomes a tool for creativity. Using recycled Tetrapak cartons and a humble pasta machine as a printing press, you'll learn how to transform discarded packaging into beautiful, hand-pulled prints.

This accessible and environmentally conscious workshop introduces participants to traditional intaglio printmaking techniques, with a sustainable twist. You'll learn how to etch into Tetrapak surfaces, ink your plate, and print your own image using a DIY tabletop press.

All materials are provided, and no prior experience is necessary. By the end of the session, each participant will leave with their own completed print — and a new way of seeing the creative potential in the everyday.
