Preparing nettle for dye and ink today. A beautiful and abundant plant with so much to offer. When working with any fresh plant materials it's important to leave them to sit for a while so inhabitants can find a new home and not end up in the pot. When you take a closer look there will be all sorts of lovely little creatures present. Another invitation to slow down.

Geo-arts at Big Pit Blaenavon earlier this month. Great to be exploring landscape and heritage through colour and natural pigment here at this UNESCO world heritage site. There was a lovely group of artists, scientists and earthy folk, it was a pleasure to guide them through the process of exploring a landscape to identify pigments, thinking about health and safety and having fun using these rich tones to create paint and artists books. Includes gorgeous work from .j.russell (grid man) and (first two books). . Would love to offer this closer to home !

Out and about again this afternoon, visiting Pete at Trigonos to discuss running a weekend retreat. It would be crazy not to offer something here and I am so happy to be invited. Such a beautiful venue and perfect for creativity, nature and wellness activities. How about making some paint from local slate and charcoal, and botanical inks from foraged plants/ trees ? Connecting with the beautiful nature and landscape here? Creating your own nature journal? While being fed delicious food with time for swimming in the Llyn and having a sauna!! We are looking at October dates so make sure you are on my mailing list if you like the sound of this and would like to find out more. Link in comments.

Lovely to meet Liz Ackerley today to discuss running an event for Nature Week on 4th July. And doubly lovely to meet this beautiful Willow who will be the focus of our creative nature connection session. I am looking forward to spending time under this gorgeous tree facilitating time for playful, expressive art using natural materials and ink from Willow. 💚 Bionet - North East Wales Local Nature Partnership Conwy County Borough Council
