Share this event
Join us for a day of creative exploration and nourishment, inspired by artist Aimée Parrott’s use of repeating processes and rhythmic mark-making in her exhibition The green fuse drives the flower.
The day will begin with a two-hour session led by Lucy Lee of Old Mill Arts that exploring how to make art materials from foraged plants using a range of natural processes.
You will then enjoy a unique one-hour lunch made by Jane McArthur of All Our Stories. The lunch will be created using the same plant species used for materials, and Jane will share some insights into the healing and nourishing properties of the ingredients she uses.
After lunch, Lucy will lead a second session focused on creative mark-making and the application of natural colours. Taking inspiration from Aimée's use of form and gesture, you’ll experiment with materials and processes, exploring ideas of transformation, connection and exchange.
At the end of the day, you will leave with a collection of your own handmade art materials, the work you have created and your own menu with its unique food story as a memory of the feast.
