Ecosystem on the Steps - Drop In
Saturday 03 June
National Justice Museum Steps
11am-3pm

Prepare to be surprised and amazed by the range of artworks that can be created using just foraged natural materials! You will use twigs, leaves, seeds, and more, to create pictures, mini-sculptures, and imaginary natural creatures. Nature artist Jane Bevan will guide you through some of the many ways to engage and experiment creatively with nature to build an ecosystem on the steps of the National Justice Museum.

A Day in Nature - Drop In
Saturday 03 June
Project Lab in the National Justice Museum
1pm-3pm

Join artist Emma Davies and musician Kamal Joory to explore sound from nature through experimental mark-making. You’ll create dynamic and expressive drawings with graphite sticks, to 'train our ears' and identify sounds that- would normally go unnoticed. Your sound drawings will be documented in small concertina books to create a 'Library of Sounds'. This mindful workshop is inspired by Emma’s soundscape 'A Year in the Life of the Allotment', featured within our current Project Lab.

Seed Ball Making - Drop In
Saturday 03 June
Old Market Square
1pm-3pm

Join the Museum’s sassy bike and make a selection of seed bombs to brighten our city’s empty green spaces with an explosion of wildflowers and colours. Using a combination of compost, flower seeds, and clay, families will create small ‘bombs’ which can be thrown into patches of green, releasing pockets of seeds that will eventually turn into a microhabitat for bees, moths, and insects – as well as creating a beautiful floral landscape.
