A making session using materials foraged along the River Lea, with artist Emma Smith, collaborating with Rewilding the Old Lea + Are You Mad
Rewild Remake
Join us for a ‘Rewild Remake’ making session with artist Emma Smith, using materials foraged along the River Lea. Delivered in collaboration with Are You Mad and Rewilding the Old Lea, this hands-on session combines environmental action with artistic exploration. Participants will take part in a guided litter pick and collaborative making, transforming found and discarded materials into new artistic forms - reimagining waste as a resource.
Participants will sort and prepare foraged plastic materials to be remade into a series of printed plaques to be printed with wishes of what the river might ask for, need or remember, transforming discarded materials into objects for reflection and care hat will be shared in exhibition.
Come along to clean, create, and reconnect with the River Lea.
