Join artist Charlie Hill for a textile workshop on Hapa Zome and Green Prescribing as part of the Growing Colour Together Project.
Hapa Zome is an ancient Japanese art form, based on leaf printing. This practical session will include a short grounding/ breathing exercise, mindful walk around the green space, collecting materials for the activity. We will use natural materials to create textile prints and painting samples using the Hapa Zome technique. We will identify leaves and materials we are working with and handle them using our sense of sight, smell and touch. The session will also cover a practical themes and content around green social prescribing methods, connecting to nature and supporting our wellbeing through creative textile processes and our natural environment.
This session is suitable for adults with a particular focus on inviting women and girls in the community.
