2-4pm. Discover the ancient technique of twine-making using natural fibres, with artist Lucy Burscough. The basis of basket-making, netting and a wide variety of crafts from many cultures, your twine can be worked up to produce a bird feeder or wren-house. This workshop runs alongside the 'Looping and Linking' installation, on display outside the Museum, which was inspired by the grass-weaving work of Scottish 'outsider artist', Angus McPhee.
Urban Naturalist is a series of friendly, practical workshops run by leading naturalists. From wild food-foraging and composting to bird song and insect identification, explore biodiversity on our doorstep.
