Sunday, 14 July 2013. The Tide Stays In! In tropical heat to-day, some 40 people called into the Green Man Gallery. For some determined "Knitting of a new landscape". There were needles knitting, crochets hooking and alarming needle-felt barbs avoiding people's fingers. Seaweed was knotted and jellyfish ribboned and wobbled. A lot of the new creations were placed in the window display by their makers. And the Gallery has asked for our Ancient Landscape to stay in the window for another week! Buxton Museu...

Ancient Landscapes: Make your own ancient rockpool
http://ancientlandscapes.blogspot.com/2014/07/make-your-own-ancient-rockpool_5744.html
Sunday, 20 July 2014. Make your own ancient rockpool. Make your own ancient rockpool. We have used this easy technique many times.We designed it for public events where we would have to make a lot of rockpools with visitors in a short space of time but it is very versatile and you could adapt to suit your situation. While this was set up as an Ancient Landscape event you could of course make a modern rockpool, or perhaps a pond! Paint brushes or sponges. To squirt the paint onto (easy to clean). Could yo...

Ancient Landscapes: April 2013
http://ancientlandscapes.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 27 April 2013. This project is not part of Ancient Landscapes itself but is another environmental experience, organised this time by Victoria. Who painted the magnificent landscape we use in our publicity…. Blossom postcard by Victoria Brown. Have you ever felt disconnected from nature? Do you only capture its beauty fleetingly, rushing through your daily life? I have a one-word suggestion for you. The blossoms are transient, urgent for their life, then they’re gone. What if we were separated f...

Monday, 25 February 2013. Land tree - sea tree: did kelp grow in those ancient seas? Seaweeds do not fossilise well so it is hard to know what the algal landscape might have looked like in those limestone seas. Every stone tells a story. A box of ancient memories. Every stone tells a story. A series of public events through 2013 will invite participants to. Explore Peak District sites. Use different art media. To apply that new understanding to creating models of those landscapes: textiles might shape re...

So, our Ancient Landscape will be rippling itself around on this Apple Day to remind everyone of the geology under their orchard feet! So come along and play with a trilobite or two!
