SUMMARY:Geometry in Nature: From Seed to Honeycomb
DESCRIPTION:Geometry in Nature: From Seed to Honeycomb\nWorkshop with Emma Kerridge-Conium \nStep into the hidden world of nature’s patterns and discover how geometry shapes everything from flowers and plants to honeycombs and living ecosystems. \nIn this inspiring hands-on workshop\, you’ll learn how to construct the Seed of Life using a drawing compass\, uncovering one of nature’s most beautiful geometric forms. As we explore the patterns that connect the natural world\, you’ll experiment with colour pencil techniques to transform your drawings into vibrant works of art before adding your own personal wish for the environment. \nBuilding on these new skills\, we’ll create a striking geometric honeycomb design while learning about the incredible role bees play in pollination\, biodiversity\, and the health of our ecosystems. \nCombining art\, mathematics\, environmental learning\, and creativity\, this workshop is a chance to slow down\, immerse yourself in nature’s designs\, and gain a deeper appreciation for the world around us. \nWhat you’ll discover:\n• How geometry appears throughout nature\n• Compass drawing techniques and geometric construction\n• Creative colouring and design methods\n• The importance of bees and biodiversity\n• New ways to connect with environmental themes through art \n🥪 Lunch included \n👥 Suitable for ages 12+ \nNo previous experience is needed—just curiosity\, creativity\, and a love of nature. \n  \nBook Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Geometry in Nature: Starfish and Seagrass Meadows
DESCRIPTION:Geometry in Nature: Starfish and Seagrass Meadows\nWorkshop with Emma Kerridge-Conium \nDive beneath the waves and discover the extraordinary patterns hidden within our marine environments in this creative workshop exploring the geometry of the sea. \nUsing a drawing compass\, you’ll uncover the geometry of 6 and 12 while creating a stunning Common Sunstar Starfish\, learning how mathematical patterns can be found throughout the natural world. You’ll then bring your artwork to life with colour and add a personal hope for the future of our oceans and marine ecosystems. \nThe journey continues as we explore the geometry of 5 to draw a Common Starfish within a thriving seagrass meadow. Along the way\, we’ll discover why starfish are considered a keystone species and learn about the vital role seagrass meadows play in supporting biodiversity\, storing carbon\, and protecting our coastlines. \nCombining art\, geometry\, and environmental education\, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the wonders of marine life while creating beautiful nature-inspired artwork. \nWhat you’ll discover:\n• How geometry shapes marine life and natural forms\n• Compass drawing techniques and geometric construction\n• Creative colouring and illustration methods\n• The importance of starfish and seagrass ecosystems\n• How art can inspire a deeper connection with our oceans \n🥪 Lunch included \n👥 Suitable for ages 12+ \nNo previous experience is needed—just curiosity\, creativity\, and a fascination with the natural world. \n  \nBook Tickets Here
