About this Event
Celebrate fungus foray season with a mixed media mushroom garland. Craft your favourite fungi with your choice of paint, ink, collage and drawing.
The tutor will provide some card, paints, decorative papers and threads but please bring anything you wish to work with and any specific mushroom images you like.
Workshop Tutor - Sophie Woodhouse
I have a B.A. and M.A. in arts and have taught and lectured in art and craft for around 25 years. I am most interested in the connection between art and nature, sketching directly from the natural world and using natural history as the inspiration for printmaking and design. I believe that studying the landscape, flora and fauna about us, we can heal ourselves and be moved to protect nature.
Above all, art can be sociable, playful and experimental.
Secret Severn Arts Trail
From the 6th to the 15th of September 2024 the Secret Severn Arts Trail will be showcasing over 40 artists and their amazing creations across a wide variety of mediums. Many artists will be opening their studio doors for the duration of the event giving you the chance to meet them and see them at work. Visit the Jackfield Open Studios and Galleries at Fusion, as well as the new 'pop-up' studios in the courtyard of the Jackfield Tile Museum. There are many more venues in and around Ironbridge and Broseley, offering a great day out and an opportunity to support local artists.

This workshop is being hosted by the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust, a local charity.
The Trust’s aim is to promote, protect and conserve the living landscape of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, which has a diverse range of habitats, including wildflower meadows, woodlands and heathlands. But that’s not all! We maintain over 20 kilometres of footpaths, conserve and protect 60 historic structures, run exciting Outdoor Learning and Volunteering Programmes to encourage local people and visitors to engage with the natural environment in a variety of ways.
