Description
Make glamorous hanging decorations using recycled leather pieces embellished with a frosting of sequins and glitter. Take inspiration from the wintery natural world to create leaves, birds, feathers and creatures to hang from your tree or for special presents. Workshop Tutor - Sophie Woodhouse I have a B.A. and M.A. in arts and have taught and lectured in art and craft for around 25 years. I am most interested in the connection between art and nature, sketching directly from the natural world and using natural history as the inspiration for printmaking and design. I believe that studying the landscape, flora and fauna about us, we can heal ourselves and be moved to protect nature. Above all, art can be sociable, playful and experimental. This workshop is being hosted by the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust, a local charity. The Trust’s aim is to promote, protect and conserve the living landscape of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, which has a diverse range of habitats, including wildflower meadows, woodlands and heathlands. But that’s not all! We maintain over 20 kilometres of footpaths, conserve and protect 60 historic structures, run exciting Outdoor Learning and Volunteering Programmes to encourage local people and visitors to engage with the natural environment in a variety of ways. All proceeds from this workshop will support the work of the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust.
