All are welcome to join us for a day of hands-on workshops with the artists who created the popular Buckholt Bryngaer sculpture trail. There will be making, weaving and sonic explorations, drawing on and developing the themes of the existing works of art.

The sculpture trail was created by Rebecca Baddeley, Bex Wood, Emily Hedges and Mike Layward - all students on the Fine Art degree programme at Hereford College of Arts . working under the mentorship of local sculptor Michael Lawrence.

The day will also feature live music in the woods, including a promenade performance from the celebrated Welsh harpist Delyth Jenkins, who will be chatting to and playing for walkers she encounters on the hillfort and interacting with the sculptures.

Please bring a picnic, dress appropriately for the weather including footwear. The woods are full of scratchy things and there may be mud!!

The event will begin at The Shelter, Buckholt Woods, Manson Lane entrance, NP25 5RD WhatThreeWords ///forensic.depend.bonds
