Soil & Soul Sundays // Special earth paint
Explore, Create, and Connect with the exhibition Earthbound. Worms, Soil, Decay
Join us every Sunday morning for a vibrant immersion into the world of the exhibition Earthbound. Worms, Soil, Decay. Stroll through our spaces, discover the exhibition at your own pace, and engage in a diverse program of activities designed for all ages: young and old, art enthusiasts, science curious, or ecology passionate.
Creative workshops, guided tours, cross-disciplinary perspectives, yoga sessions, vegetable markets, and flea markets... Each Sunday offers a new way to resonate with the themes of the exhibition: soils, decomposition, earthworms, and our connection to the underground world. A Sunday at Bridderhaus is an opportunity to wander, discover, and enjoy a moment of calm and sharing.
Experience the unique atmosphere of our inner courtyard when the weather permits. It's the perfect spot to relax, sip a coffee, savor a carrot cake, and enjoy a pleasant time with family or friends in a laid-back and friendly ambiance.
Open to all.
All activities are without registration.
09:00 - 12:00 | Drop-in Family Workshop | Creative exploration of Soil.
This workshop will explore the potential of soil as a painting and drawing medium.
Using ancient sieving and grinding techniques we will be working with Scottish archived soils along with fresh local soils to create an earthy palette of colours to use as watercolour paints. You will come out of this workshop inspired to look around you for the colours of nature and with new skills to turn the everyday dirt under your feet into beautiful art. We will also be looking at the world of soil in a new way by looking through powerful lenses at tiny soil-dwelling creatures which make organic soil so nutrient rich and precious.
Offered by Natalie Taylor, led by the educational team from the Bridderhaus.
