A free workshop during Participate’s exhibition, ’akin’ Jill Impey will take you on a brief artist's guide to discovering mosses

“This is a time to take a lesson from mosses” (Robin Wall Kimmerer, botanist, academic and award-winning writer)Mosses have survived 350 million years of catastrophe. They are ecologically important, absorbing huge quantities of water, helping to soak up rainfall and create humidity, offering a home for creatures, like woodlice and nematodes.There are around 1,000 bryophyte species of mosses and liverworts in the UK. Many require microscopes to distinguish between closely-related species. How can we get to know and learn from them?For this free workshop during Participate’s exhibition, ’akin’ Jill Impey will take you on a brief artist's guide to discovering and learning from mosses. There will be some fun drawing and mark making, and a sharing of words to make poetry ‘snippets’.
