Activity date: Friday 14th August 2026

Start time: 10:00
Finish time: 13:00

Activity description

Continuing this summer's Art in Nature project at Skelton Grange we are running our next in a series of art workshops open to all! The second workshop will be trying our hand at sunprinting using a mixture base with turmeric. We'll forage for plants then use them to block the sun on paper leaving prints of petal, leaf and stem outlines. These prints will be on display for our open day on the 5th September but feel free to collect your work home afterwards! This session runs from 10am - 1pm with the foraging starting at 10am. Feel free to bring a packed lunch if you wish for afterwards.

Site description

The Conservation Volunteers at Skelton Grange in Leeds have long recognised that looking after green places isn't only about caring for nature, but about caring for people as well.

Since 1992, we have used the natural environment to offer a range of education, job skills and recreation opportunities for people of all ages. Skelton Grange welcomes over 6500 people a year, including young people joining environmental education and play activities, and adult trainees and volunteers leading education sessions and conservation and biodiversity projects. This enables them to widen their experience & aspirations, reduce social exclusion and build confidence, develop skills for further training or employment, and partake in positive activities which promote lifelong learning and cohesive communities.

Very simply, every year we engage thousands of people of all ages with their local environment where they make a positive difference to their community.
