Art walk: A garden made of lines @ NRAS Open Allotment Day
Artist duo Kirsty Badenoch and Wayward will lead a creative walk around the allotments, inviting you to experience the beautiful blooms and vivacious veggies through writing and drawing. We'll embark on a series of playful and meditative experiments, immersing ourselves in wonders of the natural world, telling magical stories and turning things upside down with our imaginations.
Everyone is welcome - gardeners and story-tellers, hunters and dreamers, kids and grannies, pets and parents. You're especially welcome if you think you "can't draw" - we're here to prove otherwise! All workshop materials will be provided.
Walk 1: 16:00 - 16:30
Walk 2: 16:30 - 17:00
Meet 10 minutes before at the main shop store by the front entrance near the busway.
This workshop is part of "Search for the Hedge Witch", a two-year community art-and-ecology project bringing together young minds from across Cambridge to co-create a new ecological myth. Upcoming events include an exhibition at The Cambridge Room (opening Thurs12 June), and public workshop (Sat 14 June). Future events will include hedgerow planting and maintenance workshops in the Cherry Hinton area in 2025/26.
