Event details
ESI Artist-in-Residence Rachel Lambert is hosting a weekly foraging walk with Penryn campus Head Gardener Toby Nenning to peel back the history, origin, sustainability and potential of the plants thriving in our campus gardens. Each week, they will focus on a different plant that offers its fibres for making, honouring their growth cycle and harvesting leaves together for making.
In addition to this Rachel will also be offering a weekly making with fibres session, using plants gathered on campus and using different traditional processes.
