Join artists Irene Rogan and Di McGhee for a workshop on the dunes observing, drawing and writing poetry.

Haverigg beach parking

A quadrat is a frame, traditionally square, used in ecology and geography to isolate a standard unit of area for study.

Use your quadrat to select your own area of dune to explore and investigate. Record your findings using drawings and written research. Your research will be a unique creative record of the flora and fauna within a specific area of the dunes. You will also have the opportunity to record this moment in time using photography and take part in a staged group photographic event.

The written research may be combined to create a poetic phrase or a sound performance as part of Restoration Remix performance in the dunes on 30th August. 

All welcome! No experience necessary. 

Please bring sensible clothing and footwear. You may wish to bring your own refreshments. Cattle may be present. Subject to weather.

Please do not attend if you show symptoms of Covid or have been in contact with anybody with Covid.

This workshop is part of Unpublished Tour (https://www.facebook.com/Duddon21/), supported by Dynamic Dunescapes.
