Inspired by the wildlife charity’s Action for Insects campaign, the two workshops will enable people to learn more about the fascinating and vital world of insects, and how they can do their bit to help protect them in our region. The sessions will be run virtually via Zoom.

Both sessions will be run by artist and writer Dr Sheree Mack who facilitates national and international creative workshops and retreats in the landscape, encouraging and supporting people on their journey of remembrance back to their authentic selves.

Over the course of 1.5 hours, Dr Mack, will help participants to develop their creative techniques, guiding them through a variety of ways to observe nature using words, imagery and audio to bring their experiences to life.

Between the two workshops, participants will be encouraged to collect their own experiences of the natural world to share with other participants in the group.

Priced at just £5 per person for both sessions and open to anybody aged 18 or over, the sessions are ideal for anybody, no matter what their level of skill, who enjoys flexing their creative flair or who simply wants the chance to meet and share experiences with others.
