Searching for vanished ice: What the Arctic's past tells us about the future climate

Crystal Fu is a PhD student in the Department of Geography studying sea ice sensitivity.

From Crystal:

Inspired by Japanese artist Kenji Umeda, the session will move between exploring forms, making and looking. Using fun and messy materials and a playful approach, participants will discover how something often seen holding broken bones can become a beautiful sculpture and form.

Your creations will be inspired by the Handpicked: Painting Flowers exhibition and artworks and objects on display in the Kettle’s Yard house, resulting in new and unique floral artworks to take home.

During the session we will briefly visit both the exhibition and house. We will be using clay, plaster and trying some fun printmaking methods.
