Activity

Art of Nature: Nature Table

– Get involved!

Do you have a favourite object from nature? To coincide with Dail Behennah’s nature table in the exhibition, we would like you to help us build a collection of natural objects for our own nature table in Studio 3 and share your experiences with us. An important part of a nature table is identification and the question of why is something in that place? Why did you pick up that particular thing? What do you like about it? Why does it look like this?

Suitable for all ages

If you would like to donate an object for the duration of Dail Behennah’s exhibition please get in contact with our education officer Sioned Phillips. sioned.phillips@denbighshire.gov.uk

Workshop

Responses to the Nature Table

2 day workshop with Dail Behennah 16 & 17 May 10.00am – 4.30pm £130 Lunch included

Working with wire and foil, participants will be encouraged to work in an intuitive way to make their personal responses to natural objects. Basic metal-working and textile techniques will be employed, without the use of specialised tools or equipment. No prior metal working experience is required.

Day 1: Begins with a stroll around Loggerheads Country Park accompanied by the County Archaeologist, Fiona Gale, and Dail Behennah. The group will then return to Ruthin Craft Centre in the afternoon, with an opportunity to take a close look at Dail’s Nature Table in the exhibition, followed by discussion and exercises. By the end of the day we will have assembled our own Nature Table to inspire the second day.

Day 2: This day will introduce people to materials and skills that they might not have used before. Participants will be encouraged to make a series of small objects which will be their individual responses to the Nature Table.
