BUDDING BOTANISTS

We engaged 2 photographers and a sound artist to work with primary school children, their families and the Teesdale Special Flora Trust.

The project explored the rare and unique flora of Upper Teesdale – The Teesdale Assemblage – to understand the environmental factors and challenges affecting its existence.

Artists: Louise Taylor, Nat Wilkins, David de la Haye

Next Project

Over 80 school children across 4 Teesdale Primary Schools took part in site visits to Cow Green reservoir, photography and sound workshops

The project culminated in ‘Fabulous Flora!’, an exhibition of students’ creative responses, at The Witham, Barnard Castle. Artwork included photography, sound compositions, cyanotype prints and zines making (small magazines)

a collection of postcard sized artwork arranged at 45 degree angle in the corner of the room. The artwork includes images and words
