SUMMARY:Pigment and Paper Making with Onion Skins
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop we’ll be using onion skins for this workshop and everyone will leave with an A5 piece of paper\, a small sample of onion dyed cloth and the know-how to make more at home. \nSave and bring any onion peels / other fibrous plant materials from your own kitchen to experiment with (we’ll also have a stash\, so no worries if you don’t have any). \nWe’ll also be making circular paper with a nifty coffee press to be used at our Worm Appreciation Day in a creative writing badge making workshop. \nWho is This Event For?\nAdults aged 16+ who are interested in ecological arts. \nExperience Level: \nThis workshop is aimed at beginners and open to all levels of experience. \nThis workshop is ticketed with a solidarity pricing scheme. \nThose who can are encouraged to pay a little more\, and those who need it are encouraged to accept a discount. The idea is that by paying on a sliding scale\, we hope to foster more justice\, equity and diversity in our food system and society. \nIf you think you might be able to pay a little more for your ticket please ‘offer solidarity’. If you feel that you need a discount please select a discounted or free ticket. There’s no questions asked – it’s available if you feel you need it. \nClick here to book on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Birdsong Identification Walk
DESCRIPTION:The monthly Birdsong Identification Walks continue. Professor John Frank will lead a group around the farm\, counting and recording the species you find on the day\, as part of our annual survey. You don’t need previous knowledge – John will teach you how to identify birds using the mobile app Merlin. To avoid disturbing the birds\, we have to restrict the numbers of volunteers on these very popular walks\, so it really is a case of the early bird catching the worm/spaces on the sign up sheets. And please do remember to cancel if you can no longer make it\, as someone else would love to step in. \nClick here to sign up for April \n
