Breaking News! Design your own colouring-in sheet! Sat 18 May, 10am-12pm, Abbey Wood Library, SE2 9PT
5-12 year olds and their families are invited to join artist Chloe Cooper for a series of creative workshops breaking down the news stories that matter to you. From zines to animation, collage to DIY publishing, this family session invites you to explore social justice issues and current affairs through art and making. Collage together words and pictures from the news, trace over your collage, photocopy it and (hey presto!) you'll have your own colouring-in sheet! Photocopy extra copies for your friends and family to colour in and we'll even leave some for the users of Abbey Wood Library to colour in too! Book here.
Billboard Field Trip, Sun 19 May, 11-1, register here for Woolwich Dockyard meeting point. The Hundred Club have made a billboard!! Last month, members of the club came together with artists Tommy Brentnall and Ruth Beale to create billboard designs based on the issues that they want to shout about. Children voted on their favourite slogans - soon to be pasted up in giant form on Woolwich Church Street!
5-12 year olds and their grown-ups are invited to join Ruth and Natasha on a gentle walk to visit the billboard, do some fun drawing activities, visit the Thames path, and head to a nearby playground. Bring a packed lunch or snacks. We'll be meeting in Woolwich, please register for exact location and to be kept up to date of any wet weather plans. All 5-12 year olds and their families are welcome, whether you helped design the board, or just want to admire a giant artwork made by fellow kids!
The billboard will be near the big chimney on Woolwich Church St (opposite Woolwich Adventure Playground) from 13-26 May, for anyone that wishes to call by another time to see it. Do send us your reviews and photos if you do!
Plus, from 16-26 May, you'll be able to see Tommy's ace mini billboard model with the kids' designs on display at TACO! in Cygnet Square in the bookshop. Why not head by and grab the latest copy of WAAAH! while you're here!

Pull out the key characters from this week's news (whether they be campaigners, politicians, animals or trees)! then make sock puppets inspired by them. Use your puppets to act out what's going on in the world right now. As you'll be the ones writing the script it'll be up to you to decide what happens at the end! Book here.

Members of the club contribute to our own kids-produced newspaper WAAAAH!, as well as taking part in other fun creative activities like designing and speaking to special guests. Children and families are involved in decision-making, and each term we ask the children what the important issues are for them.
Sessions are facilitated by experienced visual artists and designers. Through collaboration and hands-on activities members of the club experiment and play through art and making, using these as an inspiration to imagine a more fair, just and equal society.

The Hundred Club was initiated in 2021 by artist Ruth Beale and TACO! Ruth Beale is a London-based artist. Their work troubles the structures and systems that shape society, from institutions to social ties to the public realm. Committed to the radical possibilities of working collectively and collaboratively, they use dialogue and exchange to rethink the ways we share resources and ideas about the future. In 2012 they co-founded The Alternative School of Economics with Amy Feneck, which explores economic and political issues in relation to the complexity of lived experience.
Recent commissions include Drawing Risky Play with Turf Projects, Croydon, London and Library as Memorial with Brent Biennial, London. Recent exhibitions include LIKE GODS at Swiss Cottage Library Gallery, Editorial Tables: Reciprocal Hospitalities at The Showroom and a major new installation by The Alternative School of Economics in Economics the Blockbuster: It’s not Business as Usual, The Whitworth, Manchester.
The Hundred Club is supported using funding from Royal Borough of Greenwich.
