‘Human bodies belong to and depend on dirt.’ – William Bryan Logan
This workshop invited participants (of all ages) to develop and record somatic knowledge of their local surroundings through the making of temporary sculptures and prints with wild clay. At the same time participants were invited to take notes on their responses to the clay and the land it came from as a form of embodied site writing. These were joined together to form a collaborative text/poem. Prints were made by impressing plants from the surroundings into the clay. All clay was returned to the land/recycled after the workshop.
