Join us this Friday 27 March, 6pm – 8pm at the Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool, to explore the creative connection between people, trees and the natural world.
Starting off the evening, young artists Sonia Poppi and Cara Ng, whose work has been previously exhibited as part of the gallery’s LOOK Climate Lab programme, will be leading on ‘Bookmark Your Tree’. This is a hands-on creative workshop, reflecting on your relationship with trees. You will learn how to use watercolour and natural forms, to create small artworks, while exploring how creativity can help us notice and care for nature around us.
The PlantWave will be back in action, a device that allows participants to create sound by touching different parts of a plant or tree. This section of the evening will be hosted by Benjamin Haycock, an international award-winning singer-songwriter and one of our fantastic Senior Ambassadors, and Richard Pollard, Head of the National Schools Programme at The Tree Council. The event will conclude with a live acoustic performance from Benjamin Haycock. His work brings together music, storytelling and environmental engagement through projects presented across the UK at venues including 10 Downing Street, the National Exhibition Centre and Kew Gardens.
