Join invertebrate expert and author Linda Losito, leaf-hopper specialist Dr. Mike Wilson, and artist Alice Walker for a hands-on workshop at Mill Street Arts.

You’ll learn to identify a variety of invertebrate speciesfound at Eynsham's Long Mead Wildlife Site - discovering the secret lives of spiders, bugs, and beetles - before exploring creative techniques to draw some of the species you’ve observed using microscopes. 

This Wild Arts workshop is part of a series of workshops focusing on the value of combining scientific learning with artistic expression.

Both science and art require close and sustained attention to the subjects under scrutiny, both require understanding, both require interpretation and communication. 'Wild Arts' aims to take this symbiosis further with a series of workshops led by local artists in collaboration with local ecologists that draw inspiration, reference and material directly from the local habitat and combine opportunities to learn new skills, knowledge and respond creatively. 

Places are limited due to equipment availability, so register now to reserve your spot!

This workshop is delivered in partnership with Mill Street Arts, Long Mead Foundation and Nature Recovery Network and funded by Trust for Oxfordshire’s Environment
