This opportunity is for artists, makers and creative practitioners interested in clay, mud, pigments, foraging, ecology, material research and place-based practice. The day will feature:

Artist talks, workshops and presentations from Siobhan McLaughlin, Becky Little, Susie Johnston, Sean Kingsley, Kevin Andrew Morris and Helen Gallogly, on working with wild clay, mud and natural pigments.
A choice of limited-capacity afternoon sessions: Becky Little’s Dorodango workshop, or Susie Johnston’s talk at St Andrews Galleries to see Dear Earth and hear about her piece 'Reclamation - to cry again' (2025-26).
Discussion around responsible foraging, material care, safety and ecological impact.
Peer exchange with artists and makers working across material, land and place. Including a pop-up exhibition featuring invited artists.
Space to contribute to a facilitated, shared conversation about careful and ethical creative practice.
