Explore peatlands through art with us on Friday 31 May, 10am to 3pm at Bowlees Visitor Centre. The creative and relaxing day aims to celebrate the unique beauty and ecological importance of peatlands in the North Pennines and beyond.
The day will be split between two activities:
– Build your own bog terrarium – This hands-on activity will allow you to design and assemble a miniature ecosystem that mirrors the unique biodiversity of a peat bog.
– Create cyanoprints with bog plants – Make your own bog plant composition to create a unique artwork through this fascinating photographic printing technique.
The event is intended for adults who are interested in art, peatlands and cyanotype printing. We advise to bring casual clothing as the activities might get a bit messy. £10 per person.
