A summary

You will be making a 6 x 6 inch clay tile telling a short story of whimsical encounters with Bats in Leek. Completed tiles will be installed in places Bats have been sighted in Leek for passersby to discover.

Local artist, Chris, will introduce the materials, explain and demonstrate how to make a clay tile, and support you through the creative process that will include working with relief, stamps and glazing.

Time permitting, you will also make a small souvenir for home.

During the workshop we will explain more about our project, developing a 'Bat Trail' in Leek.

About your mentor

Greenwood Growth CIC

Immerse, discover, connect in nature.

Greenwood Growth CIC

We work in community woodland offering compassionate support to people focused on connection to self, others and a belonging to the natural world. Over half the population lives within six miles of a forest or small woodland and we think most people don’t visit them at all, or just pass through. Greenwood Growth makes your local space fun, safe and inviting places to spend time. We want to get you amongst the trees to begin exploring and to feel the positive effect on health and well-being for yourself.
