This session will start with a walk in the park collecting natural found materials.
Returning to Platt Hall, we will experiment together with hand printing and construction, noticing the patterns, strengths, balance and texture in found plant materials to co-create artworks with nature.
Please wear outdoor clothes suitable to the weather on the day – waterproof, warm enough and with stout footwear. And, as the workshops may be messy, indoor clothing you don’t mind getting dirty or an apron or similar for protection.
