Nicole Clouston will use mud as a medium in order to explore the life within it and our connections to it.

In this hands-on online workshop, Nicole Clouston will teach participants how to create sculptures that use mud as a medium in order to explore the life within it and our connections to it.Participants will be invited to collect samples of mud from a site relevant to them – their backyard, a nearby park, a memorable shoreline – and place it into clear containers along with egg and newspaper which supports microbial growth. When exposed to light, the microbial life in the sculptures will begin to grow, and with time, form vibrant marbling across the surface.Saturday, October 24, 20202pm-4pmOnline via Zoom (link available upon registration)Registration: This workshop is PWYC ($20 suggested donation).
