Fossils, Art and Inspiration


Fossils,
Art and Inspiration
Art Days for Grown-ups
Sunday 10th March and
Sunday 17th March 2013
nr Longnor
10.30 - 4
try your hand at making ancient reef animals

two days of activities with artists from Stone and Water

felt crochet, model-making can all play their part


These days are partly training for our existing volunteers, training for possible new volunteers and also just days for adults who'd like to have a go themselves. We have worried about the wording of these - we want to offer days for adults and teenagers rather than families - we do a lot of activities for family groups but sometimes it is good for grow-ups to have some creative time that is just for themselves...

These days also mark the overlap between the end of  our "Exploring with Stories" project and the start of the next phase of "Ancient Landscapes"


just drawing is good, too
Inspired by fossils from local limestone and the rich landscapes of the Upper Dove Valley, we'll share skills, ideas and techniques giving ourselves time to experiment and reflect

No experience needed - just join in and have a go!

Workshops are free and materials are provided but spaces are limited so please book a place (either day or both)
Further details sent with confirmation

Sunday 10th: crochet your own coral, needle-felt a fish, printing fossils, small models of monsters
