Join us for an exciting exploration of nature and printmaking!

During the session we will embark on a short nature walk in the surrounding area hunting out the local flora and fauna. We will collect treasures along the way to use when we get back, printing directly from our found objects we will make some beeswax wraps adorned with the patterns of nature to take home!

Through this workshop we hope to not only ignite an interest in the natural world but to highlight the importance of caring for it through more sustainable living, one of the biggest things to tackle is our use of single use plastics within the home! The beeswax wraps we will create are the perfect alternative to cling film in the home and can be used to wrap leftovers, sandwiches, cheese and a whole range of other foods, it can also be used to cover dishes/jars.

Beeswax has antibacterial and anitfungal properties helping keep things clean and reducing risks of contamination or the growth of yeasts and other fungi, the wraps once made are reusable all you have to do is rinse them with a mild dish soap and some cold water and leave them to dry!
