Botanical artist Ella Yolande will be leading a free ‘sensory exploration’ through Greenwich Park, teaching participants about lichens.
Lichens are slow-growing organisms formed of fungi, algae and cyanobacteria.
With the assistance of Gemma Hindi from Help Nature Thrive, Ella will be showing participants how to use macro lenses to examine the lichen.
Taking inspiration from traditional and sustainable lichen dyes, artist Ella will also guide everyone in a hands-on activity to create a small memento to take home, infused with lichen colour and scent.
Date: Friday 24 April
Time: Sessions at 10:30 and 14:00
Location: Greenwich Park, Shooters Hill Road, Greenwich SE10 8QY
Tickets: Free. Reserve your place at https://www.royalparks.org.uk/whats-on/lichen-lab-art-ecology
