Nature recording Walk
Come along and join us from 9:30am, we will be recording all kinds of species with a group of local enthusiasts of nature. You don’t need to have any special knowledge to enjoy one of these walks and you could learn a lot from those who do. We plan on carrying out surveys on the 3rd Sunday each month. From March through the summer this will include the monthly bumblebee survey. From November to February, we will be meeting at the Milton Creek Country Park Gas Road entrance ME10 2QB
Rustic Reindeer Workshop
We will be making rustic reindeer from kits. Parts will be sourced from local materials and kits will cost £15 each. Places are limited, tickets can be booked on Eventbrite.
Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. We may be working out in the open some of the time so please wrap up warm.
The Friends will also be selling Christmas decorations and gifts to raise funds to equip “Space @MiltonCreek” the new community hub that the Milton Creek Country Park Trust is building.
Silver Jewellery Making Workshop
Using the magical medium that is Silver Clay, you’ll learn how to make moulds of nature, like shells or leaves and make impressions into the clay. Fill the moulds, dry, sand and refine the piece, then torch fire and watch your work turn into real silver. You will then finish off by burnishing and polishing your piece, ready to wear home or gift.
Included in the price is 7g of Art Clay Silver, enough for 1-3 charms depending on size. Use of all tools needed to create the jewellery. You will also get a goodie bag with a sterling silver chain, polishing pad and gift pouch to store your jewellery in and an informational booklet on silver clay.
