Nature House / The Nature of Forests - Today's Events

Here's what's on today at the Nature House:

10-12 Wild Creatives: Hapa Zome Plant Prints
Location: The Nature House at The Portal - please park at Heneage House (large wine-coloured building) or at the Fairyslipper parking area

Hapa Zome is a Japanese printing technique that transfers the natural pigments of fresh flowers and leaves directly onto paper or fabric - no paint or ink, just the plant itself, and a satisfying amount of hammering. Join us at the Nature House for this beautiful and surprisingly percussive art form.

1-3 SLC Drop-in: From the Forest to the Sea (all ages)
Location: Sea Life Centre at Telegraph Harbour Marina

Missed Friday's session? Same great activity running again today - see Friday for details.
