Immerse
yourself in a revitalising unique multi sensory creative
experience in nature
Saturday – Two Dimensional Land Art
Create two-dimensional land art pieces, being inspired primarily by our
own observation and response to what we see as we explore the
richness of the woods and fields of Westley Farm. Also be inspired
from old and new traditions including plant mandalas, land
artists, and ethnic traditions. Participants will explore the land
looking at patterns in nature, gather a natural palate and
make temporary work of art as a group as well as smaller
individual work. Work can be recorded photographically or by
drawing and painting using natural pigments and handmade paper and
bark.
Sunday – Three
Dimensional Land Art Sculpture
Create three-dimensional temporary land art sculptures. Inspired by
traditional folk art, from different parts of the world this
course will teach ways of making big structures using willow or
hazel then using a "wattle and daub" technique from
local clay. Participants will, take part in a group project as
well as their own individual piece to take home. Inspiration will come
from exploring the stunning grounds of Westley Farm. The land,
rich in flora and fauna, animals, birds and plants and the mineral
world will provide many sources of inspiration.
