Make mini bee skeps by weaving bramble and covering with clay with Kim Norton
Join us on two Thursdays 14th May and 4th June to learn how to weave with bramble which will then be covered in clay to make bee skeps. These workshops are only suitable for those aged 16+
This is part of our Digging the Dirt project which runs from March-June this year and is all about soil – the world beneath your feet. We are working with Kim Norton a local ceramic designer who specialises in soil and who was part of the Soil exhibition at Somerset House in 2025, Soil the World at our Feet, which inspired this project.
These bee skeps will be shown at our Summer Solstice exhibition in June as part of this project.
All tools and materials will be provided. You may want to bring an apron or wear old clothes.
As a charity we welcome everyone to our wild, but safe community space (sorry no dogs aside assistance animals). All activities are free but some have a small fee to cover costs but donations towards our charity really welcome and there will be a cash collection tin on the day or scan the QR code whilst there to donate online.
Bring a phone to ring for entry and your own snacks/drinks. Make sure you dress for the outdoors as sessions will take place even if it rains (we generally only cancel if high winds or storms). Check the last entry time, as latecomers won’t be admitted sorry. Places are limited and please only book if you can attend and let us know if you book and then can’t come by emailing wcw@rgtb.org.uk if you don’t turn up and don’t let us know this will affect future bookings. Entry from 15mins before start time unless otherwise stated.
By booking a place or attending you are giving us consent to take photographs and these might be used for publicity purposes and on social media by our charity. If you want to opt out please notify the person running the session on the day. Thanks
If you are planning to come along let us know in advance if possible so we can plan refreshments, etc.
