Join Juliet Murray, founder of The Craft That Reconnects, a local craftswoman and nature connection facilitator for a monthly wild crafting workshop and sauna experience at Mothecombe Bay. Each month, she will teach a new craft skill, which includes foraging for the materials in the landscape. As well as teaching a craft skill, she will provide foraged nibbles and herbal tea. The session will finish with a sauna, where you can continue to craft or simply relax and enjoy the views.
14th August: Natural pigment & mark-making with foraged brushes - We will collect beach materials to explore mark-making, transforming materials like feathers, sponge and driftwood into expressive paint brushes. We will then experiment with our foraged brushes using oak gall ink and earth pigments, enjoying painting in the evening summer light.
Connect with your hands and learn to transform natural materials into beautiful everyday objects in a supportive and friendly environment. All craft abilities are welcome!
Please bring 2 towels, 1 to sit on in the sauna and 1 for afterwards, swim wear and a vessel for water.
Limited to 15 spaces per session.
