Exploring natural colours in flowers
A group of adults from Lanercost Day Centre visited Ashton Court and undertook a range of activities to tune in to their natural surroundings. The group explored colour and collected a range of found materials to create a natural collage in the woods. One of the highlights of the day was using a Kelly Kettle to make tea and getting to grips with using fire steels that were used to light the fire in the kettle. It is hoped that this session will be a starting point for more days that will help the group explore and learn about the natural world.
