Common Ground Saturday Sessions
Join us for our introductory workshops for Common Ground where artist Cassie McGuire will lead the first 3 sessions, looking at insect environments, particularly bee habitats. We’ll be making bee hotels and bug houses. There will be an opportunity to learn sketching techniques - drawing bees in a variety of media. Attendees will also learn more about the plans for the Common Ground micro-farm and wider project.
Come and explore Common Ground!
