A taste of this morning’s Ripple Effect (art, archaeology and wellbeing) project session, meeting Andy and Alex from Wessex Archaeology and exploring how living alongside the Salisbury Avon might have been in Palaeolithic times.
Rivers, ecology & prehistory - v much my cup of tea and very relevant to my #QueerRiver research too.
We got to handle beautiful artefacts too, including a flint axe head of up to 1/2 million years old!

Back at #PoundArts in #Corsham this morning for another session of the #NoticingNatureWilts project with #CelebratingAgeWiltshire

Noticing Nature is an #ArtAndWellbeing project I’ve been running with C.A.W for the last two years, with older people across #Wiltshire., using art to connect with our local environment and record what we notice.

You can read my blog posts and see some of the participants’ artwork online at: www.noticing-nature.com

A taste of this morning’s #NoticingNatureWilts workshop with local older people and #CelebratingAgeWiltshire at #PoundArts in #Corshsm.

Lovely group, lovely setting, everyone responding to my hoard of natural treasures!

Back for more next week…
