Wild Arts builds on two workshops on Long Mead in summer 2021, organised for the Nature Recovery Network (NRN) by artist, Alice Walker and Catriona Bass.
The workshops highlighted the value of combining scientific learning with artistic expression. Both science and art require close and sustained attention to the subjects under scrutiny, both require understanding, both require interpretation and communication.
Wild Arts aims to take this symbiosis further with a series of workshops led by local artists in collaboration with field specialists that draw inspiration, reference and material directly from the local ecology and combine opportunities to learn new skills, knowledge and respond creatively.
Learn to identify wild life prints, and local trees, play with local clay, charcoal and much more.
