Assist in the preparation of seedlings and respond to the environment through mark-making using oak gall ink with artist Penelope Lacey.

Exploring the habitat in this area of historical, cultural and natural beauty, ‘tune-in’ to the language of the trees and hidden ecosystems with Cineál, creating further responses collectively with found and natural materials.
