When we started this project, the first lockdown was beginning, and many suddenly found that limitations to freedom brought about a new-found appreciation for the world around us. For us, our daily walks became a source of inspiration which fed directly into the work we were making.
In this workshop, we’ll take participants on a walk, on a route including a section of canal. They’ll learn about a range of wild plants – some edible – and take pictures of things which catch their attention, natural and otherwise. Back at base, attendees will create simplified forms from the plants, patterns, and other things they’ve seen and foraged.
By the end, everyone will have made a design of their own to take home along with a Lucky Pablo goody bag.
